From a very young age, Shannon Miller’s father, a geologist, taught and encouraged her to be inquisitive about how the world works.
He provided many opportunities for the family to be surrounded by nature and learn about biology and engage in interesting science-based activities together. She also had an amazing high school chemistry teacher who inspired her love for chemistry. Naturally, she would find a passion in STEAM and become a chemical engineer.
At the start of her career journey, Shannon chose Jacobs because of the exposure to various different industries (pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, etc.) which allowed for more learning and growth opportunities in lieu of working for a singular-focused company. Today, she still chooses Jacobs because of its people and the fun we have together while developing solutions for our clients.

During her almost 25-year career at Jacobs, Shannon has had a rich and varied journey, starting as a process engineer and evolving into project management, sales, operations and human resources leadership – spanning multiple industries including technology, resources, infrastructure, pharmaceutical and consumer products with assignments in the U.S., Europe, Australia and Canada. Most recently she was Executive Vice President and President of Divergent Solutions prior to her appointment as Executive Vice President and President, Strategy, Growth & Digital Officer.
Shannon is an empathic and strategic business leader with a track record of success across business operations and passion for driving cultural and digital transformation and solving complex problems that ultimately helps to make the world smarter, more connected and more sustainable.
As Executive Vice President and President, Strategy, Growth & Digital Officer, Shannon helps set the
strategic direction of the company, ensuring accelerating growth by driving meaningful value for current and prospective clients and partners, and is responsible for delivering next generation cloud, cyber, data and digital solutions empowering both Jacobs' teams as well as those we work with around the world.
One of the most gratifying parts of her role as a leader, she shares, is promoting people on her team (especially at the VP+ level) as a result of their hard work and contributions. She enjoys and appreciates the unique opportunity to provide a platform for people to shine while performing the work they are passionate about.
Shannon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. On weekends, her favorite activities include hiking (although there is not a lot of hiking happening in Dallas), eating great food and napping.
“Whether we’re providing resilient infrastructure for a military base after a storm or helping to bring life-saving pharmaceuticals to market, Jacobs’ digital solutions and how we are applying these tool sets to critical projects across critical infrastructure, water & environmental, and life sciences & advanced facilities is helping us, our clients and the communities they serve.”
