Robert L. Chandler is a healthcare public relations executive and thought-leader. He is the founder and principal of Chandler Chicco Companies, a network of global companies representing capabilities in healthcare communications across public relations, marketing and branding, graphic design, media and production, and research and measurement. Chandler has been in the healthcare industry for nearly 40 years. He has communications experience in most therapeutic categories having worked with clients such as GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer Healthcare, sanofi-aventis, Allergan, Genentech, Abbott, UCB, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hoffmann-LaRoche, Eli Lilly, Bayer Diagnostics, Novo Nordisk and a number of teaching hospitals and trade associations. Although “known for having a tough veneer and liking order,” Chandler created an agency with a surprising lack of traditional order, eliminating titles to ensure that “employees’ focus will remain on work and will not be stifled by hierarchy.” Together with Chandler Chicco Companies’ co-founder, Gianfranco Chicco, Chandler pioneered a new type of public relations workplace, making the agency a fixture on The Holmes Report’s Best Agencies to Work For list year after year. Chandler appears in Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare (2009/2010), Who’s Who in America (1975 - Present); Who’s Who in the East (1975 - Present); and Who’s Who in Finance & Industry (1975 - Present).
