Strengthening the team

Willie Miller is an industrial engineer, who spent the last 23 years in the banking sector. He will consult SAPPO on various matters. He served on FNB’s executive committee, responsible for the Private Banking division and also as CEO of the Business Banking division. He is chairman of FNB’S Agricultural Advisory Board.

This role introduced him to agriculture. “When SAPPO invited me to join its board I could not resist,” he says.

“The pork industry is innovative and specialised and is always looking for ways to improve. I hope that I will play a role in this regard, by asking the ‘unexpected’ questions from someone who has not always been involved in the industry. I will use my business experience and my industrial engineering background to make a contribution to SAPPO’s functioning. It is a honour for me to be involved in the pork industry,” Miller says.

The South African Pork Producers’ Organisation (SAPPO) coordinates industry interventions and collaboratively manages risks in the value chain to enable the sustainability and profitability of pork producers in South Africa.
