David W. Miller, PhD

DIRECTOR, FAITH & WORK INITIATIVE SENIOR PROFESSIONAL SPECIALIST IN ETHICS, AND LECUTURER PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

David brings an unusual “bilingual” perspective to the classroom and the boardroom. Before receiving his Ph.D. in ethics and joining the faculty at Princeton University, he spent 16 years in senior executive positions in international business and finance, including eight years in London.

David is the Director of the Princeton University

Faith & Work Initiative (FWI), a Senior Professional

Specialist in Ethics, and a Lecturer. FWI is housed in the Keller Center for Innovation. In addition to his research, teaching, and programs, he also serves as an advisor to corporate CEOs and senior executives on ethics, values-based leadership, culture, and the role of faith at work. As a thought leader, many senior executives seek his counsel, and scholars, religious organizations, and the media seek his views. An article in the Wall Street Journal recently featured his work with one global client referring to him as the “on-call ethicist.” Prior to academia, David lived and worked in London, England for eight years, where he was a partner in a private equity firm that specialized in international investment management, corporate finance, and mergers and acquisitions. Before that he was a senior executive and director of the securities services and global custody division of HSBC Group, having held the same position at Midland Bank plc before its acquisition by HSBC. He moved to London as the managing director of the European operations of State Street Bank & Trust, a leading US securities services bank.
