EY, on Jan 11, announced the appointment of Jamie Miller as its global chief financial officer (CFO). Miller, who was the CFO of both Cargill and the General Electric (GE) Company, will also be the CFO of EY’s proposed new public entity.
According to EY, Miller’s “deep financial management experience and global outlook bring a valuable skill set to EY now and as it moves forward with its proposed transformation”. In addition to her roles at Cargill and GE Company, she was senior vice president and controller of WellPoint (now Anthem). She was also a partner at Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
Her selection is also another step in the company’s separation process outlined in 2022.
In May 2022, EY said that it was in the “early stages” of evaluating its plans to split its audit and advisory operations globally.
“We are thrilled to have Jamie as part of our team. Her skill set, experience in the public markets and business depth will be a crucial asset for our organization as we undergo this transition,” says Carmine Di Sibio, EY Global Chairman and CEO.
“I am excited to join EY. I believe in the core values, vision and potential of the future company. It is a unique opportunity to be part of what will be one of the most disruptive strategies in any industry this decade,” adds Miller.

Julie Boland, EY US Chair and managing partner and Americas area managing partner says, “EY is proud to announce that Jamie is joining EY as its global CFO. She has a rich portfolio of experience, including working in the Big Four and the CFO of both private and public companies. Her experience is very relevant, and she will bring great insight into the split that EY is working through.” Boland was also recently selected Global Chair and CEO of the proposed AssureCo entity.
During the next several weeks, EY has revealed that it plans to name additional leaders to a range of positions in the two proposed post-split organisations that will result if the voting by partners is successful.
