Ron Chandler left Irwin Financial Corp. earlier this year after his position as CIO of Irwin Union Bank was eliminated. Chandler says he had been considered for the corporate CIO post at Irwin Financial but removed his name from consideration after finding that the corporate CIO job would require more travel than the Indianapolis to San Francisco jaunts he was making every other week. Irwin Financial hired Jim Burke as its corporate CIO last spring.
