  Edwin Miller, the CEO of 9Lenses, is an accomplished four-time CEO recognized as both a growth and a turnaround thought leader. His proven skills of leadership, motivation, and business model assessment and creation are demonstrated in both public and private theaters. He has successfully transformed domestic and international organizations through both organic and acquisitive means. His experiences span many different technological, horizontal, and vertical markets.

  Drawing from these experiences, he created a new and innovative framework for assessing business, which utilizes the new concept of social discovery. This concept allows business leaders to gain insight into their companies by gathering real-time information from employees at every level, and across every practice area that drives their business. He founded 9Lenses to use this framework to help companies identify, educate, and resolve all information gaps in any aspect of business.
