Russell Chandler
- President, Boulder Bicycle Holdings, Inc.
I started my career in software development, focused on development of geographic information systems. At 29, I founded a company that implemented these systems for major companies. After ten years, I sold the business, and have subsequently invested in and/or operated a number of other software-focused businesses. In 2014, I "retired" into owning and operating a local bike shop and also serve as a volunteer for several local nonprofits.
My advice to students...
Become an expert in logic and critical thinking. Focus on the skills you need to develop into a leader. Learn how to attract and motivate a diverse team that shares your vision.
