Who is Rubén Duque?
Rubén Duque is a dynamic strategist in human development and coaching with a long and distinguished career, combining his experience as an elite rugby coach with consulting for Fortune 500 companies. Born in Spain, he developed a passion for rugby at age 10, playing as a scrum-half. His love for the game led him to pursue extensive training in Europe and New Zealand, earning multiple certifications from World Rugby, including the Master Trainer level (Trainer of Trainers).
His coaching career took shape in Spain, where he served as Technical Director of the Spanish Rugby Federation and led several youth and women’s national teams, successfully qualifying the men’s national team for the 2007 World Cup in France. He later moved to Mexico, where he assumed the role of Technical Director and Head Coach of the Mexican National Rugby Team (beginning in 2012). Under his leadership, the team experienced unprecedented growth, climbing more than 20 positions in the World Rugby rankings—a significant achievement for the development of the sport in the country.
Duque's success stems from his ability to translate the key elements of high-performance sports (values, discipline, passion, and teamwork) to the business world. He is the author and co-author of books on leadership and is a highly sought-after international speaker. His talks are designed to inspire executives and teams to achieve extraordinary results, focusing on how to establish a shared purpose that goes beyond immediate goals and on the importance of practical execution.
In addition to his work with national teams, Rubén Duque serves as an executive and team coach, working with leaders and management teams at multinational companies such as Google, Microsoft, AXA, and Honda. His legacy is built on his ability to foster a culture of champions: the belief that “life is a team sport,” and that effective leadership consists of serving others and focusing on the “daily micro-victories” that lead to sustained success, both on the field and in the office.
