Evan Frazier
Evan Frazier is the President and CEO of The Advanced Leadership Institute (TALI), an organization cultivating Black executive leadership to strengthen companies, institutions, and communities. Mr. Frazier guides the mission of TALI to educate, develop, connect, and position African American leaders for executive advancement. His early vision led to the formation of The Advanced Leadership Initiative in 2017 that focused on building the pipeline of talented African American leaders in Pittsburgh. Under his leadership as founding director, the initiative partnered with Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business to develop a signature program, the Executive Leadership Academy. In its fifth year, this world-class executive development program provides the tools, exposure, and training to prepare Black leaders to contribute to their organizations — and the community – at the highest levels. Building on the success of TALI in the Greater Pittsburgh Region, Mr. Frazier led the strategic expansion of the organization from Initiative to Institute by extending the portfolio of executive development programs to impact a larger pool of Black leaders locally and nationally. Mr. Frazier holds a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration, a master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College of Public Policy and Management and completed the Wharton Executive Development Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
