She previously held technical and leadership roles at Google, Electronic Arts, Tagged/MeetMe, PayPal/eBay, and Visa.

According to a blog post announcing Miller’s hire, she will be tasked expanding trust & safety operations and data security, and redesigning Reddit’s trust frameworks and transparency efforts.

She has a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Business Administration from the University of California at Berkeley.

Reddit has been operating for more than 16 years, and announced a $250 million Series E funding round earlier this month.
