Miles Parker

Miles Parker, Founder, has worked for more than 30 years in the public relations field, specializing in the technology software arena. During an eight-year period in the 1990s, Parker directly placed or facilitated over 500 trade articles for clients Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc., and Parametric Technology Corporation; hundreds of articles for other clients have followed since then. He has also placed client feature stories in Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, and Industry Week.

Parker created and managed the application for the National Medal of Technology Award, which was presented to clients Geoffrey Boothroyd and Peter Dewhurst by President George H. Bush in 1991. Miles Parker is a past winner of a Bell Ringer Award from the Publicity Club of New England, the highest regional recognition for public relations work.

Parker also brings to the field an appreciation of manufacturing issues gained as a foreman of a 14-person sheet metal shop. He holds a master’s degree in English and served for eight years as an editor of a literary publication, the Northeast Journal.
