Andy Miller (pictured) has joined the Highland Capital Partners as a General Partner. Based in Highland’s Menlo Park office, Miller will work to partner with the most promising mobile and technology companies in the Valley.
Miller joins Highland from Apple Inc, where he reported directly to Steve Jobs and was Vice President, Mobile Advertising. At Apple, he headed up the iAd team, the mobile advertising network for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad line of mobile devices. Previously, Miller was the Co-Founder and CEO of Quattro Wireless, the mobile advertising company that was seeded by Highland and ultimately acquired by Apple in 2009. Prior to that, Miller had responsibility for business development, sales and strategy for what became North America’s dominant mobile aggregator, m-Qube, which was acquired by VeriSign for USD250 million in 2006. Miller has also held the position of CEO of WatchPoint Media, an MIT Media Lab interactive TV spin-off, that was sold to Goldpocket/Tandberg Television in 2003.
"From the early days at Quattro through our acquisition by Apple, I experienced firsthand Highland’s ability to deliver outstanding value-add and to be a trusted advisor and partner throughout all stages of our growth," says Miller. "I am excited to join the team and for the opportunity to work with exceptional entrepreneurs building the next generation of innovative, market leading companies."
"We’ve had the opportunity to work very closely with Andy for years, since the early days of Quattro Wireless and then beyond," says Bob Davis, General Partner with Highland. "Andy understands the entrepreneurial journey and has an incredible network of entrepreneurs and CEO’s in the digital media and mobile sectors. He will be an exceptional addition to Highland."
