Since January 1, 2008 Tom Miller is Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Workflow & Solutions Division, Siemens Healthcare Sector.
Prior to this appointment, he was a member of the executive board of Siemens Medical Solutions (Med; today Siemens Healthcare) in Erlangen since July 1, 2006.
Miller holds an impressive professional track record within Siemens and other multinational corporations. During his initial 15-year tenure with Siemens, Miller headed up Med’s Magnetic Resonance (MR) product division, and the U.S. sales and service organization. Subsequently, Miller was the vice president, Business Development, for Siemens Medical Solutions in Erlangen, Germany. Most recently, he led the Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation (HS).
In addition to his leadership positions at Siemens, Miller was also the president and CEO of Carl Zeiss, Inc., the American subsidiary of the optical company, and simultaneously the general manager of their worldwide medical division, responsible for surgical microscopes and ophthalmology products. Tom also served as president and CEO of Analogic Corporation, a manufacturer of components and subsystems for the healthcare and security industry. He also co-founded a company, LightLab Imaging, to commercialize a new diagnostic-imaging method called optical coherence tomography (OCT), which enables the acquisition and display of real-time ultra high-resolution, cross-sectional images with light. During the summer of 2002, following successful initial clinical trials for vulnerable plaque imaging in coronary arteries, he sold the operation to a Japanese company.
Whether he is racing motorcycles, bicycling, reading a classic or listening to music, the one thing that remains constant is Miller’s passion for life. This exuberance is also true in his commitment to his work. As Miller sees it, the potential for healthcare IT is boundless and the exponentially increasing pace of technological advances offer great possibilities to those who can leverage it.
Miller holds a B.S. in nuclear engineering with a minor in English literature from the University of Massachusetts and a master’s degree from Harvard Medical School/MIT’s joint program in medical physics.
