Carol Miller joins the
Louisville Zoo as Finance Director

Carol Miller was recently named the Louisville Zoo’s new Finance Director.

Miller, who previously served as a Business Manager for Louisville Metro Public Works and Assets, replaces Jackie Richardson who left the Zoo to become Assistant Director of Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness.

In her new role, Miller will manage the Financial Division of the Louisville Zoo, which includes the Business Office, Cash Management and Gift Shop. She will also prepare and monitor a $12 million operating budget and $3.3 million capital budget.

“The work here is very challenging,” Miller said. “But I am very interested in the mission of the Zoo and excited about working with different revenue sources. I have always loved math and solving puzzles. I get such a feeling of accomplishment when I figure out a major analytical challenge. A new job like this is like figuring out a puzzle. I like trying to figure out all the pieces and seeing how they fit together.”

Miller isn’t the only person excited about her new position.

“My two children are thrilled that their mom works at the Zoo,” she smiled, “and I’m hoping that they grow up to be good stewards for animal conservation and the environment.”

Miller has a Bachelor of Arts degree in accounting from Bellarmine University and a Masters of Arts degree in geography from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
