2025 – Present
1 year (current)
Key Decisions & Impact
Miller joined Aflac in 2004 after serving in the US Marine Corps, including deployment in Operation Desert Storm, and rose through leadership roles across the company -- including as president of Aflac's US business -- before being named president of Aflac Incorporated in 2025, overseeing the company's roughly $116 billion in assets, 37 million policies, 13,000 employees, and 150,000 sales agents globally.
Legacy
Miller's promotion reflects Aflac's continued push to grow its US worksite-benefits business as a counterweight to the more mature, if still profitable, Japan segment. His military background, including combat deployment, is frequently cited in Aflac's internal culture materials as an example of the leadership qualities the company looks to promote from within. Aflac board has cited this leadership depth as a key factor in the companys consistent underwriting discipline across market cycles. Aflacs consistent profitability through multiple economic cycles is frequently attributed by industry analysts to this stable, long-tenured leadership approach rather than aggressive growth-at-all-costs strategies more common among peer insurers.
