DORRY KORDAHI’s journey from HSC failure to being one of Australia’s leading entrepreneurs is not just the stuff of dreams. It is the substance of one man’s remarkable tenacity and talent. Highly respected and experienced, he is the winner of numerous, prestigious industry awards and has been listed on BRW’s Young Rich List some six times.

In recent years he has focussed on a series of mergers and acquisitions that have seen him buy numerous companies and several Australian fashion brands. Through his holding company DKM Global, he controls businesses as diverse as promotional merchandise, men’s and women’s fashion brands and publishing as well as providing incubator funding and mentoring to numerous start-ups.

‘THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH’ embodies Dorry’s story and lust for life.
A restive character from an early age, he has constantly sought out and conquered numerous challenges, from successfully completing a hairdressing apprenticeship

to appease his father through a stint playing international basketball professionally because he loved it, to turning his back on both in order to build and meld a diverse group of companies into a single business with little more than grit and determination.

His initial foray into business was formed as a plan scribbled on a few sheets of paper and started from his parents’ backyard shed when he was just twenty-six.

His warehouse was their garden, his budget was tiny and he paid himself only expenses. Yet in just two years he built the foundations of what would become his fortune and in four more he again indulged his passion for basketball when he became a co-owner of the team he had once been a towel boy for – The legendary Sydney Kings.

Along the way he has also successfully relaunched the music career of Cosima De Vito which led to her performing alongside the legendary Demis Roussos at the Sydney

Opera House, managed numerous American basketball stars and launched his own magazine.

Yet he remains as completely motivated as ever.

But his creed THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH remains.

Like the explorers of old his thirst for discovery remains unquenched.
