Jason Miller is a results-driven retired U.S. Army Captain and decorated combat veteran whose career spans more than 26 years of distinguished military service, federal executive leadership, and private-sector innovation. Known for transforming organizations through operational excellence, strategic clarity, and mission-aligned execution, he brings a unique blend of battlefield-tested leadership and corporate scalability expertise to every environment he enters. His professional journey reflects an unwavering commitment to service, resilience, and improving systems that directly impact people’s lives—from service members and veterans to national healthcare operations and fast-growth technology companies.
Jason’s foundation as a leader was forged early in his Army career, where he rapidly advanced into roles that demanded technical mastery, decisive action, and unwavering accountability. As a Scout Platoon Leader and later a Reconnaissance and Personal Security Detachment Commander in Afghanistan, he led teams through complex, high-stakes missions requiring both tactical proficiency and strategic foresight. His ability to train, develop, and mentor soldiers while sustaining operational readiness across millions of dollars in equipment earned him recognition as a leader capable of balancing mission, people, and long-term success. Throughout multiple combat deployments, Jason demonstrated the courage and composure that would later define his influence across the federal government and private sector.
Jason’s excellence in leadership led to a prestigious assignment as an Executive Assistant and Aide-de-Camp to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs), a four-star equivalent Senior Executive Service leader. In this role, he gained an unparalleled view of Army-level policy development, personnel programs, and the inner workings of executive military leadership. He coordinated high-visibility initiatives, managed complex communication channels across the Pentagon, and ensured the Assistant Secretary was positioned with clarity, insight, and strategic alignment. This experience solidified Jason’s reputation as a trusted advisor capable of navigating the most sensitive and mission-critical environments.
Following his military service, Jason transitioned seamlessly into the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where he served as the Executive Assistant to the Under Secretary for Benefits and later as Chief of Military and Veterans Outreach. He played a pivotal role in shaping national outreach programs, influencing veterans’ access to benefits, and elevating communication between service members, senior leaders, and government entities. Jason managed overseas coordinators, led national initiatives, and developed strategies that ensured veterans worldwide received timely, accurate benefit guidance. His work directly supported millions of veterans and transitioning service members, embodying his lifelong dedication to service beyond the uniform.
Jason’s ability to pair leadership with technical innovation became even more evident when he entered the defense contracting world. As Program Manager for the U.S. Marine Corps Service Treatment Record Digitization effort, he led the automation of a historically slow, paper-bound process. Under his leadership, processing times were reduced from more than 45 days to just three, enabling Marines to access their VA benefits faster and without administrative burdens. His success was driven by a deep understanding of Lean Six Sigma methodologies, process improvement, and the human impact of efficient systems—skills that would continue to shape his career trajectory.
In the private sector, Jason emerged as a transformative business leader helping organizations modernize infrastructure, streamline operations, and accelerate growth. At Ambrosia Treatment Centers, he digitized nationwide treatment center records and unified disparate systems into a cohesive clinical and administrative platform. As Director of Operations and later Director of Sales Operations at Sunwave, he played a central role in scaling the company from $500K to nearly $16M in annual recurring revenue. Jason architected the company’s technology ecosystem, improved cross-departmental alignment, and operationalized systems that formed the backbone of Sunwave’s national growth trajectory.
In addition to his corporate leadership roles, Jason is an entrepreneur who has founded and led multiple businesses, including MAKHub Solutions, Miller Perspective Research & Consulting, and JTM Motorworks. His companies reflect his versatility, combining government contracting expertise, CRM and data integration services, operational design, and even specialty automotive restoration. Each venture demonstrates Jason’s ability to identify needs, build structure where none exists, and turn ideas into sustainable, thriving operations.
Jason’s career is reinforced by a long list of honors, achievements, and credentials that reflect both skill and sacrifice. He is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and a proven expert in program management, continuous improvement, federal contracting, strategic operations, and high-level organizational leadership. His combat experience, federal influence, and private-sector achievements give him a uniquely broad and valuable perspective that resonates across boardrooms, government agencies, and high-growth companies alike.
Internationally experienced across Europe, Kuwait, Germany, and Afghanistan, and conversational in German, Jason brings a global mindset and a cultural fluency shaped by extensive time overseas. His interests in automotive restoration, boating, golfing, and family life balance his professional accomplishments with personal passion and grounded values.
