Trinidadian-born Lesley Miller recounts how her parents instilled the importance of academics and, in particular, encouraged a focus on the sciences. In that household, Miller was so intrigued by the world of technology that she decided to pursue undergraduate studies in information technology at the University of Technology, Jamaica.

On graduation, Miller landed a job in Jamaica at General Accident Insurance (GENAC) as an MIS administrator and was soon promoted to assistant IT manager shortly after. She admitted that her decision to pursue her master’s degree in banking and finance at The University of the West Indies was one of her defining moments because it changed her approach to business. Miller soon joined Digicel as ICT product manager, and enjoyed a series of promotions including head of business products, head of business strategy and finally as head of commercial operations. She would be lured back to GENAC as their chief information officer, where she focused on technology operations, digital transformation and marketing functions not just for the Jamaica operations but also for Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago.
