Cindy Chandler

Cindy Chandler has spent more than 25 years helping healthcare and nonprofit organizations find leaders who fit their mission and culture. She founded Chandler Group Executive Search in Minneapolis, ranked for several years among Modern Healthcare’s “Top 20 Search Firms,” and later launched Leadership Guidance Group to bring executive search and transition coaching together. Working closely with both organizations and individual leaders gives her a rare view from both sides of the table.

Clients know Cindy for her candor, her genuine curiosity about people, and relationships that last well beyond a single search. She serves as faculty for board training programs with Women Business Leaders of the U.S. Health Care Industry Foundation (WBL), sits on advisory boards for healthcare companies, and has served on many nonprofit boards.

Cindy grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota, where she learned the work ethic and values that still guide her today. After years in Minneapolis and Scottsdale, she now calls South Dakota home. When she’s not working, you’ll find her volunteering in her community, mentoring, hosting friends and family around her table, or riding her motorcycle through the scenic and historic Black Hills.
