Our Team

Mark Miller

After serving as a CIO and Sr. IT Director at organizations including Microsoft, Weyerhaeuser, Plum Creek and Port of Tacoma for over 20 years, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life but not ready to become a full-time golfer.  I started my career in technology consulting at Accenture in 1989 and served as CEO for 8 years at Equarius, a Microsoft Gold Partner with ~100+ consultants across multiple west-coast offices.  I am excited to go back to my roots in consulting and look forward to helping clients leverage technology to reach their business goals. 

I founded CIO Advisors LLC to help organizations optimize and enhance their Information Technology functions and investments.  Over the last 13 years, I have led three major Information Technology transformations for organizations from $250 million to $10 Billion with IT annual operating budgets from $10-$100 million.  Each was unique but required an Assessment, IT Strategy Development and then 3-5 years of Strategy Implementation resulting in an IT Transformation.  The results included: 

IT is viewed as a strategic business partner 
IT Operational Excellence with Key Performance Metrics  item
IT project and investment results
Improved IT employee and management development and performance
Programmatic approach to Information Security Risk Management

I am excited to work with Western US companies and agencies in a remote or hybrid consulting model.

    Testimonials

    “Mark has been a confidant for me for years on many levels.  As an executive, it is paramount to have other like-minded professionals to bounce ideas.  As they say, many brains make better solutions.  His perspective on technology and business is unique as he can bridge the gap between ones and zeros to the financial performance of an organization, toss in employee development, and there you have Mark. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Mark talking shop!”

    “I’ve also worked with Mark as a client of mine.  As the CIO of Weyerhaeuser, we had the opportunity to partner on cloud migration and cyber security strategy projects – his ability to quickly transform an IT organization using his background and trusted partners is second to none. “
