About Les Miller

A marketing strategist with a relentless focus on consistent messaging and speaking to the customer in their voice, I am happiest when evangelizing new messaging concepts and simplifying the complex. With a background in product management and sales - and an engineering undergrad - I have an intense dislike for empty calorie marketing. Key skill areas include: presenting to groups large and small; marketing strategy; writing; editing; presentation development; training of all stripes - channel partner, end user, and sales; product development; customer interface and relationship management; and leading teams across regions and cultures.
