Cheryl Miller, the chief executive officer of AutoNation Inc., has been on the job less than two months, but she’s summoning 20 years of automotive experience to navigate softening auto sales, technology disruption and trade wars.
Miller, 47, is the first woman to run the largest automotive retailer in the U.S. and one of the few female senior executives in a still male-dominated industry. Previously the CFO of AutoNation, Miller was promoted to the position in July following Executive Chairman Mike Jackson’s ouster of his initial successor, Carl Liebert, after just four months.
