Jeff Miller is the new chief officer (CEO) of the Fijian Drua.

His appointment was announced this morning by Fijian Drua board chairman Brent Impey.

Miller is a former Rugby World Cup winner with the Wallbies and a highly respected rugby administrator and senior finance executive.

He succeeds Mark Evans, who completes his three-year term in December 2025 and will return to the United Kingdom.

Miller is a highly accomplished executive with proven expertise in both elite sports administration and corporate leadership.

His unmatched experience and leadership will guide the Drua into its next exciting phase of growth on and off the field.

Impey said the appointment reflects the Board’s commitment to building a sustainable and high-performing organisation.

“Jeff’s arrival marks an exciting chapter for the Fijian Drua. His rare combination of rugby achievements and corporate leadership gives him the credibility and expertise to take our young Club to even greater heights.

“With Jeff at the helm, the Drua is positioned not only to compete strongly in Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific but also to build a sustainable, world-class sporting organisation for Fiji,” Impey said.

Miller’s career achievements include serving as a World Cup–winning player and coach, CEO and president of Queensland Rugby Union, and senior executive at Rugby Australia.

A tough flanker, Miller won 26 caps for the Wallabies which included two Rugby World Cup appearances.

He was a member of the 1991 Rugby World Cup winning Wallabies team captained by Nick Farr-Jones.

For his distinguished contribution to the sport, he was awarded the Joe French Medal and honoured with Life Membership of Queensland Rugby Union

In parallel with his rugby leadership, Miller has held senior executive roles across the financial services sector, including CGO, State Manager, and General Manager positions with Investec, BOQ Specialist, Kooyong Group, and Avant Finance.

He has consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver strategic growth, organisational transformation, and operational excellence.

Miller said he looks forward to working with all stakeholders to deliver on the Drua’s vision.

“The Fijian Drua represents the heart and spirit of Fijian rugby," Miller said.

"I am honoured to take on this role and look forward to working with the Board, management staff, players, and partners to strengthen the Drua’s foundations, deliver success for our loyal fans, and create pathways for future generations of Fijian talent.

"In just four years, the Fijian Drua has created a brand that unites an entire nation and excites rugby fans the world over.

"I plan to build on this as we take the Club to greater success for Fiji.”

Miller will officially start in the new role on 7 January 2026.
