153 Millennium - Eighteenth Edition ENERGY, ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING After graduating from City College of New York with a mechanical engineering degree, Michael A. Miller started his career as a design engineer in the aerospace jet engines industry. Although he planned to focus solely on design work, his interests quickly shifted as he learned more about the full scope of business operations and began exploring other opportunities. As a result, he spent eight years in engine development and an additional four years in flight testing. In 2003, Mr. Miller joined the aerospace manufacturing company Pratt & Whitney as a process certification leader, analyzing data to identify and resolve quality issues with internal business processes. Mr. Miller considers working in flight testing to be the highlight of his career, and he is proud of the work he performed designing, developing and manufacturing jet engines for military and civilian aircraft. When the company developed the V2500 engine, a project that involved the collaboration of five countries, he was on the first flight of the engine, which is necessary to help validate its performance before the start of commercial flights. Mr. Miller is a proponent of lifelong learning, as evidenced by his extensive academic credentials. As a student of Albertus Magnus College, he earned an MS in management in 2001 and an MBA in 2005. Continuing his studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he ultimately achieved an MS in engineering science in 2009. During his time at Pratt & Whitney, Mr. Miller has supported numerous charities and notably volunteered for many company-sponsored projects to help improve local communities. He recently retired from the company in April 2024. In his retirement, Mr. Miller plans to take time for himself and relax. He looks forward to traveling, gardening and playing table tennis as often as possible. MICHAEL A. MILLER PROCESS CERTIFICATION LEADER (RETIRED) Pratt & Whitney Manchester, CT
