Todd Miller, President

In 2000 as Managing Director, he co-founded one of Asia’s most successful multi-practice search firms, servicing clients across the Asia Pacific region and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. In 2007, he opened the firm’s Shanghai office and gained extensive experience in the Greater China market. In 2009, Todd founded Miller Search Partners.

Todd has successfully placed hundreds of leading executives throughout the technology sector and is recognized as one of the world’s leading executive search consultants.

"Miller Search Partners came highly recommended to me from an executive at another semiconductor company and we were extremely happy with the search that was successfully executed for our CFO. We were looking for someone with pre-IPO experience who also met all of our other qualifications and was willing to relocate so the search had its challenges but it was an extremely thorough search and we had a very strong short list of candidates. I would highly recommend Miller Search Partners to any technology company looking for executives."

Fumihide Esaka, CEO at Transphorm Inc.

"We had two confidential searches both for VP WW Sales and for a Japan Country Manager that we engaged Miller Search Partners on, and were thrilled with the candidates that they presented and the one"™s we ultimately hired. The searches were completed earlier than our expectations which was extremely helpful. We will be using Miller Search Partners on critical hiring needs going forward and they have my highest recommendation."

Brett Moyer, CEO, Summit Semiconductors

"We retained Miller Search Partners on a Chief Marketing Officer, Director N.A. & European Sales, Japan Country Manager, Greater China Country Manager, and Director of Product Marketing searches and were very pleased with the results. With each search, the research was in depth and gave us confidence that we were hiring the best candidates available in the market. I was impressed with Todd"™s ability to not only attract the right talent but to close each search to our satisfaction. They were truly able to offer us a one-stop solution to our most critical hiring needs in both N.A. and Asia and I would highly recommend Todd and his team."

David Yao, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Cambrios

"We retained Miller Search Partners for a Japan Country Manager search. The results were excellent and exceeded expectations. Todd's knowledge of the Japan market is impressive. He has deep-rooted connections and his experience in executing searches in both Asia as well as North America is a special advantage."

Dan Goehl, Vice President of Sales, InvenSense (NSDQ: INVN)

"Earlier this year, we engaged Todd Miller to lead a very difficult search for a new senior management role we were creating in Mexico. We have utilized Todd's services on several occasions since 2007 (including searches in Japan and China) with outstanding results each time and this search was no exception. Todd and his team once again demonstrated their remarkable ability to thoroughly research, canvass, and penetrate the market to find many well qualified candidates for our position. Todd's skill in evaluating and assessing prospective candidates for compatibility is "second to none" and his extensive knowledge and input were invaluable throughout the process. Todd possess an unwavering commitment to exceeding his client's expectations which sets him apart from his peers in executive recruiting. We are grateful to Todd and his team for their excellent service and for yet another highly successful result."

Mike Pointer, General Counsel and Vice President, Human Resources, America II

"We retained Miller Search Partners for a confidential Japan Country Manager open position at ON Semiconductor and were very pleased with the results in what was a critical and challenging search. At my previous company, we engaged Miller Search Partners for a VP Sales, Taiwan search with the same positive results. In my 15+ years of recruiting executives, the searches that Todd and Miller Search Partners executed were two of the best experiences that I have had. Todd does an exhaustive search backed up by impressive research into the market and with each search, we were confident that we were getting the best candidate in the market. They are a unique resource and provide extreme value."

Paul Rolls, VP WW Sales, ON Semiconductor (NSDQ: ONNN)

"We engaged Miller Search Partners to conduct a confidential GM search for MagnaChip. We were looking for someone with strong experience in the US who would be willing to relocate to our HQ"™s in Korea and someone who had the potential to eventually become CEO should they perform at a high level once on board. There were few candidates in the market that had the experience that we were looking for and Todd did a great job in finding us who we believe was the best candidate in the market. Todd is someone that you can trust as we had no issues with confidentiality throughout the search and the process was very efficient. I highly recommend Miller Search Partners to any semiconductor company in need of executive level talent."

Sang Park, Chairman and CEO, MagnaChip, (NSDQ: MX)

"I worked with Todd both as a candidate as well as on the client side. The first was as a candidate, in which he placed me into my current position as CEO of Spin Transfer Technologies. On the client side, we then retained Miller Search Partners on a CTO search. "

"As a candidate, I found Todd to be highly professional, organized, sensitive to candidate interests, reliable and responsive. He was able to clearly articulate the role as well as corporate culture and its challenges as well as opportunities "“ a very balanced approach. He had a deep understanding of not only the company, but the technology, competitive landscape, stage of development, investor situation, likely business model, etc., Todd brokered the final offer negotiation, and I found the process to be efficient, straight-forward, and had the net effect of building my confidence that the hiring company was acting from a position of integrity. "

"On the client side, he carefully developed the position specification and created a "˜market map"™ of potential candidates and target organizations that was truly exhaustive and it was clear upon receiving the short list that no stone had been left unturned. This gave me great confidence that we were in fact getting the most qualified candidate in the market for what we were looking for and with the search successfully completed and the candidate on board, it has confirmed my belief allowing me to build the type of organization I need to be successful. "

"I would highly recommend Todd and Miller Search Partners for any C Suite search in the semiconductor space, and look forward to working with him on subsequent searches. I am available for a further detailed reference if desired."

Barry Hoberman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Spin Transfer Technologies

"Todd Miller performed a confidential search on behalf of my company for a national sales director position. Right up- front I"™ll say that I can only give Miller Search Partners my highest commendation."

"Todd was of course a consummate professional throughout. He significantly differentiated his services from all the others. First of all, he really probed to understand the position, how it fit into the organization, how decisions were made, who the key people were and what they were like, so that he could maximize the likelihood of success in finding the right fit for the job. He did this initially, and as candidates asked questions in his screening interviews, he used those questions to probe further. Todd really uncovered the character of all the candidates and was extremely effective in selling our company to the top candidates. As a result we had a number of highly- qualified candidates who wanted the job "“ any of which we would have hired. His written summary of the candidates was by far the best I have ever seen, far ahead of the others. Many of the candidates remarked to me that Todd was the recruiter who asked the best questions they could ever remember. They all had a very high respect for him and his demeanor. We also caused a hiccup or two along the way; Todd handled those with total composure."

"In my 37-year career I have made many hires and have worked with many recruiting companies and individuals. Todd Miller is by far the best I have worked with, and he will have my business without hesitation on future projects."

Eric Janson, SVP, Sales and Marketing, AMS

"We retained Miller Search Partners for our most critical hiring needs and they did an outstanding job in the successful placement of our VP WW Sales, VP WW Marketing, EVP Operations, Director of Quality and Japan Country Manager. "

"They are extremely responsive and passionate about each search they execute. As a firm exclusively focused on the semiconductor sector, their knowledge and contacts in the industry set them apart. We would highly recommend them to any semiconductor company looking for top talent."

Eric Balzer, CEO, Ramtron, (NSDQ: RMTR)

"We retained Miller Search Partners for a VP Sales, Taiwan search and in my 15+ years of recruiting executives, it was one of the best experiences I have had.

Paul Rolls, SVP, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Integrated Device Technology, (NSDQ: IDTI)

"I highly recommend Todd and Miller Search Partners to semiconductor companies having hiring needs. Todd placed executives for BroadLight in North America (VP WW Marketing) as well as Asia "“ being able to cover both markets is an advantage. Todd, is highly committed to the hiring task, has extensive industry contacts and an in-depth knowledge of the market which proved most valuable. He is someone you can trust and I was impressed with the intensive research that Miller Search Partners provided to ensure that the market was thoroughly covered before we made our hiring decisions."

Raanan Gewirtzman, CEO, BroadLight (acquired for $200 million by Broadcom) "I first retained Todd for a Japan Country Manager search with my previous company and we were very pleased with the result. We then retained Miller Search Partners for a China Country Manager search which was most critical and in addition to expediting the search on our behalf, the results exceeded our expectations. Todd"™s knowledge of the semiconductor market is impressive and his commitment to client service really sets him apart from the competition. If you are in need of executive talent in Asia, I would recommend contacting Miller Search Partners."

"I would highly recommend Todd; he is extremely thorough and professional."

Derek Best, EX Vice President WW Sales, Amalfi Semiconductor (acquired for $47 million by RFMD)
