Charles Tandy, co-founder and Principal of Tandy, Morrison & LaTour, served in senior leadership positions in healthcare and higher education for more than 25 years before entering the executive recruiting industry. His success with the process of identifying and matching exceptionally talented people within these organizations led to his decision to establish an executive search firm. In this regard, he focuses on finding the optimal match between our client’s business environment and the candidates that he identifies.

Mr. Tandy received his Masters in Business Administration from the Harvard Business School, where he worked with one of the early leaders in the field of organization development. This experience led to a career interest in how organizations function effectively and how strategy is best developed. He applies this knowledge to each search that he conducts to help pick candidates who will be successful in the particular environment.

Mr. Tandy’s search experience includes healthcare, continuing care retirement communities, higher education, accounting firms, associations, and museums.
