About Us

Miller Black was founded in 2010 by Joanna Miller around the principle of limited client engagements underway at any one time. This allows the team at Miller Black to offer flexible, efficient, and cost-effective services without compromising the quality and professionalism offered by top global firms.

Miller Black understands and takes seriously the role we serve representing our clients in the marketplace: we pride ourselves not only on superb client service but also an excellent candidate experience, resulting in a high level of repeat clients. Many former candidates also become clients of Miller Black.

Our services include Retained Executive Search, Talent Advisory, Competitive Intelligence, Succession Planning, Compensation Studies, Independent External Referencing, and Executive Coaching for clients ranging from privately-held Fortune 100 companies to non-profit organizations. While we typically specialize in searches within the HR function across industries, we occasionally take on other searches at our clients’ request, typically within other corporate-enabling functions.
