has been named one of 2017’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology
by the National Diversity Council.
The National Diversity Council is a non-profit organization
committed to fostering a learning environment for organizations to
grow in their knowledge of diversity and inclusion. The annual list
recognizes female executives, influencers and achievers who
contribute to the growth or strategic direction of their
organization; demonstrate a commitment to corporate citizenship,
integrity and ethical behavior; and serve as role models and
mentors to inspire future generations of female professionals.
As a corporate officer, Miller is a member of the Avnet
Executive Board and reports directly to Avnet CEO William
Amelio. She has dual responsibility for leading global human
resources and organizational development, as well as corporate
marketing and communications and its strategic alignment to Avnet's

values of integrity, objectivity, know-how, ingenuity, empathy and
collaboration. She is committed to growing our business, while
bettering those around her and in our community. On behalf of the
entire Avnet organization, I congratulate MaryAnn not only on this
recognition, but on a career portfolio filled with so much
success.”

Business at Arizona State University (ASU) in 2010, and was
inducted into the W.P. Carey School Hall of Fame in 2013. Since
