There’s a new leader of the Gulf Coast Business Council.
On Thursday, the council’s team members gathered at the Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport to announce that Jamie Miller will be their new chief executive officer.
Miller currently serves as chief operations officer for the Mississippi Development Authority. In that position, he oversees government affairs and manages major programs including the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund. Previously, Miller served as executive director of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources as well as chief of staff to Congressman Steven Palazzo.
“I want to build the influence of the organization across the state,” Miller said to WXXV. “There are other like-minded regions of the states and we should be working together to move Mississippi forward and I look forward to trying to do that.”
Miller will officially replace Ashley Edwards, who is stepping down after seven years at the helm, on November 1.
