Peter Miller
AHC Group Senior Associate & World Inc. Case Leader
Biography
Peter Miller is the AHC Group Senior Associate who best bridges our case study book work in www.worldincbook.com with our company practices and advisory work for our Corporate Affiliates. He is leading our outreach into leadership councils, telling those who have an interest in World Inc about our new training programs, and involving select leaders in our ongoing benchmarking workshops.
Peter Miller's career began with nearly a decade at two large corporations — at IBM's Programming Education Facility and in GE's Advertising & Public Relations program. After going to school on these two giants, the constraints of too much structure and of prescribed career paths compelled him to move to a much smaller firm, an advertising agency where everyone had a critical entrepreneurial role in the firm's success. His three years as director of industrial marketing led to dramatic growth for the agency, and eventually, to a venture of his own.
At Miller, Pelton & Associates, he was a hands-on principal in a major regional marketing and communications firm that served clients such as GE's Power Generation, Plastics, Silicone and Corporate R&D businesses, as well as Finch Paper, Intermagnetics General, Environment One, and a number of colleges. For six years, he co-authored a series of bimonthly "Executive Letters" in Fortune Magazine for GE Power Systems.
Miller then led a team of enrollment professionals for Rensselaer Polytechnic's Professional & Distance Education Program, RSVP, partnering with some of America's largest corporations and the U.S. Department of Defense. During this period, RPI's graduate programs for working professionals served more than 1,200 students throughout North America and Europe.
As a marketing and public affairs consultant, he began an association with AHC Group in 1998 that resulted in securing several major, long-term affiliates for the firm. Today, as a senior associate with AHC Group, Peter's focus is on outreach to corporations, whose participation in AHC's semi-annual affiliates conferences and in its publication, Corporate Strategy Today, keeps AHC at the leading edge of emerging issues such as corporate governance and social needs.
When time permits, Peter devotes his energies to carefully planning his passive-solar-heated home, and enthusiastically playing trombone in a local band.
