Dr. John B. Miller is a global expert on infrastructure with an eye on efficiency and value. He has a thirty-five year focus on bringing practical business, legislative, and contractual solutions to the world’s burgeoning public infrastructure needs.

He was a reporter on the American Bar Association’s 2007 Model Code for Public Infrastructure Procurement project (MCPIP), which provides “best practices” in procurement to America’s 90,000 state and local governments. The Code is designed to help officials, vendors, and contractors ensure integrity in infrastructure delivery and finance, while helping taxpayers receive real value for money. The competitive principles in the Code have been adopted by many hundreds of state and local jurisdictions. He has consulted for the United Nations on best procurement practices.

Dr. Miller offers a practical, project specific, combination of good procurement practices with customized enterprise risk management (ERM) to produce unique opportunities for massive gains in value for money. This combination creates the flexibility governments, vendors, and contractors need to get effective action, at the right time, in the right place, at the right cost – across entire public infrastructure networks.

Dr. Miller was professor of construction management and civil and environmental engineering at MIT, writing two textbooks in the field of infrastructure delivery and finance. He and his clients have been involved in some of the largest public infrastructure projects/networks in the world. He is an elected fellow of the American Bar Association, its Section of Public Contract Law, and the American College of Construction Lawyers, in which he has served in leadership positions. He is a prolific writer in this space, with more than 100 scholarly articles and case studies, and numerous invited presentations in every corner of the world.

Dr. Miller is the founder of the Barchan Foundation and its web application at www.barchanfoundation.com. Collecting and transmittal world-wide practices in infrastructure delivery and finance is the central theme of the application.

Dr. Miller founded Ironside Strategies LLC and Ironside Law Group LLC in 2015, located in Winchester, MA.  He was head of Patton Boggs LLP Global Infrastructure Group between 2006 and 2014, with a substantial international practice.  He is a former manager general partner of Gadsby & Hannah, Boston and Washiington, D.C.

Dr. Miller has extensive experience consulting on procurement strategy, including assistance to the United Nations, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Federal Reserve System, and projects in the United States and abroad. John lives in Winchester with Dr. Joan W. Miller, where they raised their three children.  Joan is Chief of Ophthalmology at Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary, Mass. General Hospital, and Chairman of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School.

Dr. Miller has been active in numerous professional and industry organizations, including ARTBA, IBTTA, ABA, ASCE, DBIA, NSPE, MSPE, CMAA, CSI, ICMA, and AGC.

Miller was the Republican Nominee for Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2014.

Dr. John B. Miller is a global expert on infrastructure with an eye on efficiency and value.  His thirty-five year career combines a unique research and professional experience at MIT in civil engineering, soil mechanics, and infrastructure systems with long practical experience in the construction industry representing clients in the construction industry sector across the world.  Miller brings practical business, legislative, and contractual solutions to the world’s burgeoning public infrastructure needs.
