Dave Durand Biography

Dave Durand is currently the CEO of Leading Giants and Executive Chairman of Best Version Media, an international media company located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. During Durand's tenure as CEO, BVM was among the top 20 fastest-growing media companies in North America, and the fastest growing private company in Wisconsin of any type. In 2024, The Wall Street Journal publicized BVM as one of Top 100 Best & Brightest Companies To Work For in the Nation.

Durand is also a best-selling author, radio personality, and trainer of well over 150,000 individuals from all walks of life including sales representatives, CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, secretaries, educators, small business owners, and even stay-at-home parents. Durand doesn't just provide the "feel good" motivational talk — he inspires his listeners to action with real-world advice for real-world results.

Durand has built and sold multiple businesses which have collectively done over one-billion dollars in sales in varying industries including media, digital services, and leadership training. He is vastly different than most business leaders as his expertise is rooted in more than two decades of leadership and entrepreneurship. Durand speaks, not just from theory, but from experience.

Over the course of Durand's career, he has been named an Excellence 100 leader in the nation on the personal side of leadership by Leadership Excellence Magazine, Most Respected CEO three times by Glassdoor, Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young, and one of the Top 100 minds in the arena of Personal Development by Warren Bennis's magazine, Personal Excellence.
