A local businessman has been tapped to serve as the Secretary and CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
Governor Tony Evers has appointed Miller – St. Nazianz President and CEO John W. Miller to the position due to his “proven track record of helping spearhead business growth and success in Wisconsin and around the Midwest.”
Miller started his career in public service in Washington, D.C., as a congressional staffer and later, deputy chief of staff, serving Wisconsin’s 4th Congressional District.
He then joined the family business in St. Nazianz, eventually ascending to the top of the company in 2008.
Miller said of his new position, “I am honored to have been tapped by the governor for this opportunity to serve the people of Wisconsin. (The) WEDC celebrated a record year of investments in 2025, and I have every intention of using my experience in the business community to continue that success into 2026 and beyond.”
