Cengage Learning CEO Michael Hansen has announced the appointment of former U.S. Representative George Miller (D-CA) as senior education advisor. In this role, Miller will provide strategic counsel to company executives on a wide range of issues, including public policy and business strategy. Miller will have offices in Cengage Learning's West Coast hub in San Francisco and in Washington.
Hansen added that his new role represents an evolutionary step in Cengage Learning's journey from publisher to digital ed tech innovator.
A long time champion of issues impacting education, working families and the environment, Miller represented California's 11th Congressional district from 1975-2014, which encompasses the East Bay of San Francisco and the majority of Contra Costa County. He was one of the longest-serving members of Congress in history and helped create landmark legislation, including the No Child Left Behind Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and the Affordable Care Act.
