The appointment sees London-based Miller move on from his role as head of market structure and liquidity solutions, which he had held for a year.
In his new role, he is set to support the firm in further integrating product, market structure, and client coverage, and building out Kepler Cheuvreux’s equity execution sales offering.
Speaking on the appointment, Chris McConville, global head of execution services and trading, said: “In his new role, he [Miller] and his team will focus on origination running across every aspect of execution. By bringing equity execution sales and market structure under one leader, we will connect our market intelligence even more closely to client engagement and execution delivery.”
Miller brings extensive industry experience to his new role, and joined Kepler Cheuvreux from Vanguard, where he worked across multiple roles for more than five years, most recently as head of international trading analytics and strategy.
Prior to this, he also served as an equity algo trade specialist at Berenberg, as well as a multi-asset trader and quantitative analyst at Edmond de Rothschild.
He has also worked at ARIA Capital Management and Aviva Investors, and began his industry career as a stockbroker at Redmayne Bentley.
Miller’s new role also aligns with the appointment of Bobbie Port as global head of low touch and portfolio trading at Kepler Cheuvreux. The move marks an extension of Port’s time at the firm, during which he has spent over 14 years working across roles including head of electronic distribution, deputy head of execution sales and senior execution sales.
Previously in his career, he has also worked at firms including Instinet, Nasdaq and BNP Paribas.
“Low touch and portfolio trading have been two of our strongest performing businesses over the past two years, and they represent some of our greatest opportunities ahead,” added McConville.
“This appointment will ensure that we continue to invest in, innovate, and scale what is rapidly becoming one of the most important engines of our franchise.”
Both Miller and Port’s promotions come alongside a string of hires for Kepler Cheuvreux in recent months. In August, the firm expanded its global team with the additions of Edward Bowler, Sam Dawson and Brian Foley, spanning London and New York.
Similarly, in the same month, Eva Gripsten joined the firm based out of Stockholm in a senior credit sales role, to help build out Kepler Cheuvreux’s fixed income franchise.
