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.
