WASHINGTON, DC–Jason Miller has been tapped to be the first CEO of the recently-launched Greater Washington Partnership, a group formed by CEOs from the Mid-Atlantic region to focus on economic issues.
Miller will begin his tenure on April 1, 2017 and report to the Board of Directors.
Miller most recently served at the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council.
During his seven years there, Miller launched the Manufacturing USA program and he developed SelectUSA, the first federal effort to bring foreign investment to the US from around the world. He was worked on transportation, energy, and infrastructure initiatives, including fuel efficiency standards for light duty vehicles, the first federal automated vehicle policy and the passage of a long-term surface transportation bill.
“The Greater Washington region has impressive assets, and with the leadership of our Board, I know we can be a much-needed catalyst for real action, delivering a more inclusive, innovative economy,” Miller said in a prepared statement.
The group plans to focus on the region's economic growth drivers such as infrastructure issues, job education and training and building recognition that the Greater Washington area is a vibrant business hub.
Some of the CEOs participating in the group include Peter Scher, chairman of the Washington DC region for JPMorgan Chase and Russ Ramsey, CEO of Ramsey Asset Management and former Chairman of Washington 2024, the organization established to lead the region's recent effort to host the 2024 Olympic Games.
Scher is serving as vice chairman of the Greater Washington Partnership and Ramsey is the chairman.
Other founding investors of the group come from Monumental Sports & Entertainment, Johns Hopkins University, Capital One Financial Corporation, Dominion Resources, MedImmune, S&R Foundation, WGL Holdings and Washington Gas, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Under Armour, The Carlyle Group, McKinsey & Co., MedStar Health, T. Rowe Price, Rally Health, and EY.
