Ryan Miller

Telecommunications sales professional and entrepreneur Generation X see this generation

Ryan Miller took my call from a timeshare on the KwaZulu-Natal coast, escaping the Joburg winter, working mornings and keeping the afternoons for his young son. Partway through, somebody knocked on the door to sell him another week at the resort and warned him to close the windows because of the monkeys. Ryan sells internet capacity across the undersea cable systems that connect continents, an industry built on enormous infrastructure, tiny margins, repeated deals and people who may be your friend right up until they undercut you. He has a suitably unsentimental view of trust.
