Larry Miller is one of the most successful businessmen in the country. Miller serves as the Chairman of the Jordan Brand Advisory Board, a division of Nike Inc. He has garnered international respect for his reputation as an inspirational leader who understands how to build innovative, cultural, and premium businesses in the world of sport and lifestyle, establishing the standard for athletic luxury footwear and apparel.
He was named President of the Jordan Brand for the second time on July 9, 2012. As President, Miller is responsible for overseeing the operations of the $3 Billion sports performance and lifestyle brand while working closely with Nike Inc. global leadership and Michael Jordan to drive its business objectives globally. Yet, while he was building the billion-dollar brand, he was also living two lives – now revealed in his book, Jump, My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom and shared from the podium.
Rising to the corporate heights, Miller hid a dark past steeped in the violence of West Philly streets. He landed in jail more than once as a teen. Rather than serving time, he decided that the time in jail would serve him, ultimately leading him down a path of redirection and redemption.
