“I had the pleasure of working with Chris Miller for more than a decade – first to help publicize his successes in his role as Avanade’s Chief Information Officer across the company, and later, as a member of his global leadership team building Avanade’s Global Security Practice. As a security professional, he has both a broad and deep knowledge of cloud, identity, and modern workplace security. And as a manager, Chris is the epitome of what a leader should be. He established the vision for the new practice, and then empowered his team to own their individual circles of influence. All the while, he was available for counsel and to help remove obstacles to success. What’s rare is his true belief in the importance of work/life balance (or as he often quoted Stephen Covey, to “sharpen the saw”). As we grew to become one of the leading security services providers, it would have been easy for one to lose sight of the importance of maintaining that balance in the face of ever-increasing pressure to scale the growth. But Chris was steadfast in ensuring his team did not burn out by working excessive hours, as well as his focus on recognizing his team for their individual and collective achievements. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to lead a global team or overall organization.”
