Rob Miller on leadership

How an economic developer, money manager, and keen collaborator at the helm is empowering a green revolution at Vermont State Employees Credit Union.

As a collaborative leader and social entrepreneur, Rob Miller believes in asking questions, allowing his team to develop their own professional capacities, and that more can be accomplished together than individually. He also believes in Vermont, which has felt like home from his college days at the University of Vermont to his work as a public servant, business professional, and now as CEO of the Green Mountain State’s largest state-chartered credit union for the past five years.

Before joining the credit union industry, Miller held various positions at Citibank, Dwight Asset Management, and Conning. He also served as commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic Development from 1994 to 2000.
