Unum (NYSE:UNM) announced today that Kate Miller has been named senior
vice president and chief information officer for the company.
In this capacity, Miller will guide the implementation of new
technology, oversee application development initiatives and continue to
keep Unum’s technology strategy aligned with business goals.
She will relocate to the company’s Chattanooga headquarters from
Washington, D.C., where she was the associate chief information officer
of applications development for the Internal Revenue Service. In this
role, Miller led the software development, maintenance and applications
testing throughout the IRS. Before joining the IRS in 2005, she was vice
president and senior principal of CGI, a $2.9 billion global IT
consulting firm formerly known as American Management Systems.
Miller will report to Chris Jerome, Unum’s executive vice president of
Global Services, and will begin work July 15.
“With her leadership experience, strong consultative and relationship
skills and track record of transformation, Kate is an outstanding choice
to lead the execution of our long-term technology vision,” Jerome said.
Miller succeeds Kathy Owen, who announced her retirement plans earlier
this year.
