Carrie Chandler
Great organizations don’t happen by accident.
They are built by leaders who know that results only last when people feel valued, trusted, and engaged.
That belief has guided my entire career.
More About Carrie
My path in HR has taken me through Fortune 500s, private equity, banking, consulting, and startups. I’ve partnered with senior executives across 20+ states, guided teams through complex change, and helped organizations rebuild trust when it mattered most.
What I’ve learned along the way is simple: success doesn’t happen in boardrooms alone. It’s built every day in the conversations between managers and their teams.
Today, I serve as Vice President and Director of Human Resources for Heritage Bank of Nevada. I work closely with the C-suite to shape strategy and strengthen leadership alignment. But my work also extends to frontline managers and employees, where culture truly takes root.
Together, we’re building a workplace grounded in trust, accountability, and genuine connection.
As a speaker and coach, I focus on leadership, civility, and culture to help people bridge divides and lead with authenticity in a world that often feels anything but.
My goal is simple: to lead in ways that strengthen both results and relationships.
