Reginald (Reggie) J Miller has joined McDonald’s as its new Vice President and Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Officer.
Having gained experience at several Fortune 100 companies, Miller is back at the company that gave him his first job. He recalls his time as a McDonald’s shift manager as the “beginning of his leadership journey, which shaped his perspectives on servant leadership and inclusion”. Miller said he’s excited to rejoin McDonald’s because “it’s a pivotal time for diverse voices and perspectives to be celebrated and engaged in accelerating meaningful change.”
Miller has worked for several global companies including Walmart, Tyson Foods, and most recently, VF Corporation. He served as VF Corporation’s Vice President, Global Inclusion & Diversity. In that role, he developed the company’s ‘award-winning’ diversity and inclusion strategy, which resulted in the company being named on the Forbes’ 2020 Best Employers for Diversity list.
COMBINED HR/DE&I EXPERTISE
Over the course of his professional career, he has worked in a variety of corporate functions including supply chain, merchandising, international project management and multiple disciplines within human resources. Miller has led teams across a variety of business functions and several areas within HR. He ultimately pivoted his career from supply chain into the DE&I space because he wanted to “ensure everyone has an opportunity, and a voice, regardless of their background”.
Earlier in his career, Miller served as a Supply Sergeant in the US Army Reserve, and was deployed to Afghanistan, Germany and Uzbekistan. His broad military experience exposed him to many cultures and experiences that have shaped his approach to inclusion at all levels of an organisation. He also was an instructor and faculty administrator for the University of Phoenix for several years.
