Director of Security and Compliance
Born in Colrain, Durand has always been captivated by how things work. He turned his childhood fascination with taking things apart into a career protecting digital infrastructure. With a B.S. in Applied Science in IT from Heald College and years of leadership experience, Durand now leads security and compliance at Paragus. He believes in keeping things simple, solving problems with clarity, and helping people feel more confident about technology. Outside of work, Durand is chasing adventure—skiing, camping, or exploring with his wife and kids. He’s a Cajun trail mix kind of guy, loves hard sci-fi, and supports the Hitchcock Center for the Environment.
