Miller is promoted from execution consultant after joining the firm in 2019 and will move to Vanguard’s headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
He will continue to report to Miles Huffman, global head of transaction cost analysis. Miller will take a leadership role in the firm’s global execution consulting team for the equity index group and quantitative equity group.
