ACG Columbus Elects First Female President to Board of Directors

ACG COLUMBUS ELECTS RENEE MILYIORI AS PRESIDENT OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
     

ACG Columbus, founded in 2005, has elected Renee Milyiori, CFP^®, CPWA^®, Executive Director and Banker at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, as chapter president. As the first female president, Renee, a seasoned professional with a wealth of financial expertise, brings a unique perspective to our organization.

Renee will serve a two-year term on the ACG Columbus board of directors. We also welcomed four new members to the board: Jason Kraynak, Managing Director of Copper Run; Megan King, Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager Senior of Huntington National Bank; Tom Pampush, Partner of Ice Miller; and Rachel Ross, Commercial Banking Relationship Manager of Fifth Third Bank. Each will serve a two-year term.

“Over the years, my involvement with ACG Columbus has allowed me to see firsthand our organization's significant role in fostering collaboration, cultivating strategic partnerships, and nurturing enduring relationships.”

“Being part of such a talented and dedicated group of professionals has been inspiring and rewarding. I'm eager to continue working alongside them to contribute positively to the growth and success of the Columbus business community.”

Renee joined ACG Columbus in 2013 and has served on the board of directors for six years. In 2016, Milyoiri and fellow board member Laura Hult of Benesch co-founded the Women in Transactions (WiT) group of ACG Columbus. She was instrumental in developing programming and content to expand ACG Columbus through this new group.

Milyiori specializes in wealth management and exit planning, offering tailored financial strategies to high-net-worth clients. Her over 20 years of experience in financial services and deep understanding of ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) allow her to provide strategic advice for business owners considering succession planning. She holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Miami University. 

In addition to celebrating Renee’s new role, we would like to recognize the invaluable contributions of our esteemed board members.  Together, we will continue to drive the mission of ACG Columbus forward.
