Jeff Miles has been appointed port director of the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville.

Miles' industry experience includes more than three decades as a senior-level manager in the port, maritime transportation and logistics sectors.

He previously served as chief operating officer, deputy executive director and interim chief executive officer for the North Carolina State Ports Authority. Before that, he served for 10 years as general manager of container operations at the South Carolina State Ports Authority.

"Jeff's extensive port operations and leadership experience, coupled with his background in strategic planning, perfectly position our Jeffersonville port for continued growth," said Ports of Indiana Chief Executive Officer Rich Cooper in a press release.

Miles takes the reins from Scott Steward, who left in early January after six years at the port.
