USCIB welcomed two new policy staff this week: Cheryl Miller, USCIB vice president for digital policy and Gabrielle Girard, USCIB policy manager for corporate responsibility and labor affairs (CRLA).

Miller has extensive experience in the private and public sectors, having led Meta’s and Verizon’s global internet policy practices at major international standards bodies, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), among others.

She was also the deputy staff director for technology and innovation at the US Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Prior to joining USCIB, Girard completed a PhD in History at Princeton University, focusing on Latin America and human rights. As a doctoral student, Gabrielle interned remotely in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the US Department of State, assisting an applied learning and evaluation team with research on corruption and anticorruption. She has experience in human rights, governance, international affairs, and project management.

At USCIB, Gabrielle will coordinate and facilitate CRLA’s work on the platform economy in relation to the standard-setting process underway at the International Labor Organization (ILO). She will also support the general work of the CRLA Committee.

Gabrielle has an MA in History from Princeton University and a BA in History and Spanish from Cornell University.
