Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Foundation Names Dr. Greg Miller President of Board of Directors

Former CrossCom CEO, Veteran, and Multi-Time Golden Gloves Champion to Drive Community Impact and Athlete Development Across Greater Chicago

CHICAGO — The Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Foundation today announced the appointment of Dr. Greg Miller as President of its Board of Directors.

The Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Foundation supports amateur Olympic-style boxing throughout Chicago and surrounding communities by raising funds and providing critical resources for athletes and member gyms. Through structured athletic programming and mentorship, the Foundation expands access to boxing while equipping athletes with the resources needed to succeed both inside the ring and in their personal and professional lives.

“I am honored to serve in this important role with the Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Foundation,” said Dr. Greg Miller. “Boxing has had a meaningful impact on my life, and I look forward to working with the Board to strengthen the Foundation, expand opportunities for our athletes, and support the continued growth of amateur boxing throughout the Chicago area.”

As Board President, Miller will govern the activities of the Board of Directors and lead strategic initiatives to expand the Foundation’s financial sustainability, community outreach, and competitive development pipelines. A central focus of his tenure will be broadening educational and career-readiness initiatives for athletes transitioning out of competitive sports.

Miller brings more than two decades of senior executive leadership to the organization. From 2001 to 2023, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of CrossCom, a leading lifecycle management provider of point-of-sale, network, and voice systems for national retail, convenience, and grocery brands across North America. During his 22-year tenure, Miller guided the company through pivotal industry transformations, closed multiple strategic acquisitions, formed global supplier networks, and established long-term enterprise partnerships.

Alongside his corporate career, Miller brings a distinguished academic and military background. He earned a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Oklahoma State University, a Master’s degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, an MBA, and a Bachelor of Science in Operations Management. He is an alumnus of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program (AMP 160). Miller held an academic appointment at Harvard from 2018 to 2024 and previously served on the faculty at the University of Notre Dame. A third-generation veteran of the United States Armed Forces, Miller served honorably in the U.S. Air Force’s 552nd Airborne Warning and Control Wing and is an active member of the American Legion.

Miller also holds an elite competitive record in amateur boxing. Applying the same discipline and preparation that defined his business career, he captured back-to-back Chicago Golden Gloves Masters championships in 2024 and 2025, won the National Masters Golden Gloves championship in 2024, and claimed two Florida Golden Gloves Masters titles (2022, 2026). Over the past four years, Miller has won seven U.S. national masters boxing tournaments.

“Greg has achieved success in business, academia, and in the ring,” said Larry Roeske, Executive Director of the Chicago Golden Gloves. “Having grown up in Bridgeview, he also brings a personal understanding of the culture, communities, and values of Chicago’s South Side. Greg and I share the belief that bringing together the right people—with complementary skills, shared values, and a strong culture—creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting results. Our goal is to build something that benefits everyone involved, positively impacts the communities we serve, and becomes a source of pride for all Chicagoans.”
