His impressive intellect as well as his extraordinary experience will add a distinct and valuable perspective to our client services."

Miller said: "I welcome the opportunity to expand my work in the consulting world, helping the leaders of corporations and non-profits use communications to achieve their institutional goals, enhance their reputations and navigate complex issues. I am pleased to embark on this journey with a firm that is known as a global leader in strategic communications, and I look forward to lending my experience both to RLM Finsbury itself and to its many clients around the world."

He previously wrote a nationally syndicated column for Tribune Media Services, and served as a guest columnist for The New York Times op-ed page.

A recognized expert on economic policy, budget and tax policy, health care policy, education policy, globalization, the role of business in society, and the role of media in society, Miller is a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress.

Miller is the author of two books. The first, The Two Percent Solution: Fixing America's Problems In Ways Liberals And Conservatives Can Love, published in 2003, was a Los Angeles Times bestseller.
