Most recently, he served as President of Bags, Inc., a national hospitality and travel services firm operating in more than 275 cities.

Known for his expertise in family-owned, high-growth, and public companies, Bob has also served on numerous boards, including AdventHealth’s Heart, Lung, & Vascular Institute Foundation and Lift Orlando, where he is Treasurer. He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Accountancy from Florida State University.
“I’m honored to join an organization with such deep roots and visionary impact in Central Florida,” said Miles. “I look forward to advancing its mission and building on a legacy of meaningful, measurable change.”

He currently serves as Chairman of the law firm Lowndes, where he previously held the role of President & CEO for 16 years. During his tenure, he led transformative real estate and hospitality projects across North America. His ongoing work with Visit Orlando as General Counsel and his leadership in hosting major sporting events have helped position Central Florida as a national destination.
