Alex Durand

Founder, Frable Consulting
Executive Coach · Team Coach · Organizational Consultant

I started this practice because I believed leaders and their teams deserved better than what was available. Twelve years later, I still believe that.

Background

Alex Durand is the founder of Frable Consulting, a boutique executive coaching and organizational consulting firm he has led for over a decade. He partners with C-suite leaders, executive teams, and boards across industries to build high-functioning teams, sharpen organizational focus, and design the conditions for sustained performance.

Clients seek Alex out for his ability to facilitate the difficult conversation. The one the team has been circling around, the one the CEO has been carrying alone, the one that needs to happen before anything else can move. He names what others avoid and builds the trust that makes that possible.

Before founding Frable, Alex was a consultant at PwC. The gap between what he observed inside organizations and what leadership development actually offered them was what sent him in this direction. He has worked with organizations in defense, life sciences, aerospace, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, financial services, and mission-driven nonprofits. These are industries where the stakes are real and the cost of a dysfunctional leader or team is measured in mission failure, not culture surveys.

How I think about the work
Modern leadership challenges require that coaching evolves to better serve the present and future leaders of the world.
— Alex Durand

Executive coaching is evolving to be more like sports coaching. Many of us have benefitted from a sports coach at some juncture of our lives. At Frable we are helping to evolve coaching by professionalizing the sports coach model in leadership settings.

The best sports teams in the world don't just have talented players. They have a coach who knows each player, understands the team's dynamics, and is present enough to see what is getting in the team's way from meeting its ambitious objectives.

Everyone is playing for their version of a championship. We bring the coaching to help you meet the moment. That's the model.
