Executive Vice President

Tracey Miller

Executive Vice President Tracey Miller’s career at Compact Industries, Inc. began in 1986 when she worked summers during high school. At the first Illinois plant in Schaumburg, in a one-room office/kitchen/QA lab, Tracey was the cleaning gal, errand runner, and receptionist. By 1990 Tracey added guest services and accounts receivable to her job responsibilities.  “Grandpa” John Green wished that she pursue a business degree and join the Compact Industries, Inc. team sooner, but instead she pursued a degree in Communication and a different career path. With a B.A. in Communication from Loyola University of Chicago, Tracey joined the Compact team in 2000 as Customer Service Representative. In that role Tracey learned a lot about all aspects of the customers and products, including customer engagement, product R&D, quality assurance, sales, transportation, and distribution. In 2004 Tracey became the Customer Service Manager, and in 2006 she began overseeing Quality Assurance as the Compact Vice President. In 2011, she assumed responsibility of Human Resources and Safety. In 2015, she became HACCP certified, and added Operations to her oversight as Executive Vice President. She is currently the Secretary of the Board of Directors, and manages the certification of Woman-owned status (WBENC).
