Geoff Millener | Chief Operating Officer
The Enterprise Center

Geoff Millener serves as the Chief Operating Officer for The Enterprise Center and works with a dynamic team and community partners to develop, test, deploy and scale technology-driven solutions for pressing civic challenges. With a career built at the intersection of economic development and emerging technologies, Geoff is keenly interested in the ways innovation supports individual agency and quality of life, as well as systemic improvements to public health, education and infrastructure.  A graduate of Amherst College, he was selected as one of “50 People Who Made the Internet a Better Place” by Mozilla and to the Chattanoogan’s annual 20 Under 40 list in 2020; he was also named the 2021 Charles Benton Digital Equity Champion: Emerging Leader by the Benton Institute and National Digital Inclusion Alliance. He regularly speaks and writes on civic technologies, with by-lines in publications including Brookings and TechDirt. Geoff volunteers as chair of Thrive’s Regional Broadband Alliance, for Signal Centers’ Assistive Technology Services and of the Grants Committee for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, as well as on the board of the J.A. Henry Community YMCA, the regional Continuum of Care Governance Council and as an appointee to the the Governor's Management Fellows Executive Committee for the State of Tennessee. Together with his wife, Martha; daughter, Leonora; son, William; two dogs and a cat, the gradual descent into a plaid-clad, Chaco-wearing Chattanooga stereotype rounds out the rest of his day.
