ICBA Names Wayne Miller Executive Vice President, Chief Innovation Officer
The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today announced the promotion of Wayne Miller to executive vice president, chief innovation officer. In this expanded role, Miller will help drive ICBA’s innovation strategy, helping to source, refine and scale offerings that deliver real-world solutions to the nation’s community banks.
“Wayne has been a driving force in shaping our innovation strategy,” ICBA Senior Executive Vice President, Innovation Kevin Tweddle said. “His vision, energy, and ability to navigate the complexities of community bank-vendor partnerships have helped bridge the best of both worlds to elevate the customer experience. This promotion reflects his leadership and the pivotal role innovation plays in the future of our industry.”
Since joining ICBA as senior vice president of innovation in 2022, Miller has played a central role in the evolution of ICBA’s award-winning ThinkTECH Accelerator program, which is entering its 10th season. Miller’s relationship with ICBA dates back to 2018 when he collaborated with the organization on early innovation initiatives, laying the groundwork for what is now a fully integrated innovation program designed to empower community banks through practical, hands-on innovation, encompassing:
- Solutions Forums — featuring real-world insights from bankers and technology providers on solving challenges, implementing solutions, and driving measurable results.
- ICBA ThinkTECH Connect — dynamic, fast-paced pitch sessions, offering early access to high-impact tools that solve real challenges and unlock growth opportunities, and
- Innovation Academy and Workshop — an immersive, in-person two-day experience equipping bankers with the tools to build, evaluate and execute innovation strategies in collaboration with bank technology partners.
“I’m honored to step into this role and excited to continue building on the momentum we’ve created,” Miller said. “Community banks are at the heart of financial services in this country, and by pairing their strengths with responsible innovation, we can help ensure they remain vital, competitive and connected to the communities they serve.”
