In his current role at Robbins-Gioia, Emory Miller is helping public and private organizations understand how to drive their high-risk and complex initiatives to successful completion. Internally, Emory is leading the company to understand and address the critical emerging issues facing businesses and governments today.
During the latter portion of a 36-year Federal career, Emory worked government-wide with most of the Federal departments and agencies, addressing their most pressing information technology and business issues. Earlier, Emory served 21 years acquiring and managing over $2 billion of information technology resources for several Federal organizations. Emory served as the Outreach Director for the Federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council and as President of the Association for Federal Information Resources Management, a public/private association of information technology professionals. Emory established the Federal CIO University and the Project Management Working Group of the Council. For eight years, he served on the Information Technology Resources Board, an interagency committee established by the President to review the government's large, mission-critical systems. For nine years, Emory delivered and hosted the Interagency Resources Management Conference, the government's largest interagency gathering of information technology executives, focused on making the government better for the citizens of the country. Emory was the first program manager for SmartBuy, the Federal government's initiative to buy enterprise software licenses.
Emory has received numerous awards for his service, including the Industry Advisory Council's Communicator of the Year Award, Federal Computer Week's Federal 100 Award (twice), Federal CIO Council's Technology Leadership Award (four times), and Federal Computer Week's Top 10 Executives Award.
