The awards are divided into three competitions, for alumni from the US, India and China, and Chandler (Cambridge MBA 2009) is a finalist for the Entrepreneurial Award in the US. The other categories are the Professional Achievement Award and Social Impact Award. The US winners will be announced at a dinner in New York on 21 March.
Chandler is CEO of Tacit Pharmaceuticals, a company that develops pre-clinical and clinical stage compounds for unmet medical needs. The company won orphan drug status from the US Food and Drug Administration for its treatment of Wilson Disease, a genetic disorder in which copper accumulates in tissues.
