Frederick A. Miller

A past member of the board of directors of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, Inc., Frederick Miller currently serves on the boards of Day & Zimmermann, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Automated Technology Systems, and Hudson Partners (a real estate investment trust fund). Fred was the first person to serve on all three boards of the most prestigious organizations in his field—ATD (formerly ASTD), Organization Development Network, and National Training Labs (NTL). He recently completed terms for Pinchot (one of the first graduate schools focused on sustainability) and The Sage Colleges.

Cited as a forerunner of corporate change in “The Age of Heretics: A History of the Radical Thinkers Who Reinvented Corporate Management,” Fred has been honored with The Forum on Workplace Inclusion’s 2018 Winds of Change Award, as the OD Network’s youngest Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, as one of the 40 Pioneers of Diversity by Profiles in Diversity Journal, and as one of the Legends of Diversity by the International Society of Diversity and Inclusion Professionals.

A frequent and much sought-after speaker at international conferences and author of more than 100 articles in journals such as OD Practitioner, HR Professionals, Chief Learning Officer, and Executive Excellence, Fred was managing editor of the classic “The Promise of Diversity,” and co-author, with Judith H. Katz, of “The Inclusion Breakthrough: Unleashing the Real Power of Diversity”; “Be BIG: Step Up, Step Out, Be Bold”; “Opening Doors to Teamwork and Collaboration: 4 Keys that Change EVERYTHING”; and “Safe Enough to Soar: Accelerating Trust, Inclusion & Collaboration in the Workplace.”

As CEO and lead strategist of The Kaleel Jamison Consulting Group, Inc.—named one of the Consulting Magazine “Seven Small Jewels” in 2010—Fred specializes in developing workforce utilization strategies that accelerate results to deliver higher individual, team, and organizational performance. A pioneering change agent and thought leader in the field of organization development, he has led transformative change interventions in Fortune 50 corporations, large not-for-profit organizations, and government agencies throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia, including Merck, Allstate, United Airlines, Toyota, Sandia National Laboratories, EILEEN FISHER, Northeast Utilities, Singapore Telecom, McArthur Foundation, City of San Diego, and many others.

Fred’s experience includes partnering with organizations to accelerate growth, enhance bottom-line results, and work through turnaround situations, as well as positioning leaders for success in start-ups, entrepreneurial ventures, and transitioning from founder-led companies to the next generation of leadership. In the 1970s, as a manager and then officer with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (now CIGNA), he helped pioneer one of the nation’s first corporate diversity and inclusion efforts.
