ACG in San Antonio on 8/28/18: Panel Discussion on Igniting Change in Healthcare

Stephanie Chandler got her first job at age 11, juggled three jobs in high school, and worked her way through college. She earned a finance degree with highest distinction from the University of Nebraska, before attending law school at the University of Virginia.

Stephanie believes strongly in partnering with her clients, helping them build their businesses where she typically is in the role of outside general counsel managing the legal issues related to each growth stage.

Stephanie gets involved early on with her companies and walks with them through their entire growth cycle. One of those early successes was Rackspace. Stephanie was part of a team that structured the initial outside investments by the local investor community and continued to represent the outside investors as the company grew.

Stephanie works with Geekdom, an initiative started by Rackspace’s founder to spur the next generation of cloud-based technology companies. She works with Dixie Iron Works and helped develop a creative strategy to transfer ownership from the founder of the company to its president. Since then, Dixie Iron Works has grown into a hundred million-dollar revenue company, and Stephanie continues to serve as its outside general counsel.
