Palette Hotels adds Sarah Miller as senior director of corporate finance. Bringing experience from auditing and multinational corporations, Miller will strengthen owner confidence with precise financials, smarter capital management and innovative accounting practices designed to position properties for long-term success, according to the company.
“As Palette continues to grow its portfolio, we are expanding and investing in our accounting capabilities,” Palette CEO Richard Lou said in a statement. “As an owner myself, I know accounting can be a major pain point and an area where I see our industry lagging the times. Owners care about timely, accurate numbers and a financial strategy they can trust. Sarah’s background—spanning auditing, public corporations and international business—gives her a unique perspective beyond the hotel industry. With experience in automation, integration and compliance, she will bring new ideas that reimagine how accounting can fuel innovation and growth at the property level and our continued growth.”
Most recently, Miller served as senior director of accounting with MillerKnoll, where she supported the integration of accounting systems and teams during the company’s acquisition of Knoll. During her tenure there, she led complex cross-functional projects that accelerated financial close and delivered sharper, more reliable data to drive decision-making. A former certified public accountant, she previously held leadership roles at Herman Miller and worked as a public auditor for PwC.
