Benida Group

Benida Group

Jack Miller created Benida Group in 1999 to centralize management of family wealth generated by the Quill Corporation transaction. The office coordinates investment, banking, legal, and personal services for the Miller family while overseeing philanthropic vehicles including the Jack Miller Family Foundation and The Goldie Initiative. Benida Group allocates across private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, hedge funds, private debt, and natural resources. Deployment occurs through direct co-investments, SPVs, and fund commitments. Confirmed real-estate positions include Parkview Plaza in Oakbrook Terrace and Arboretum Lakes in Lisle, both in Illinois, as well as properties in New York City. Geographic focus remains North America. Millbrook Real Estate Company serves as the operating platform for property acquisitions and management. The team includes CEO Eric Achepohl and CFO Scott Hirsch. Additional offices are not disclosed. Philanthropic structures such as the Audrey and Jack Miller Family Charitable Foundation and the Jack Miller Center for Teaching America's Founding Principles and History operate alongside the investment office. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Benida Group maintains a hybrid structure in which the family office directly oversees both liquid alternatives and an internal real-estate operating company, Millbrook Real Estate Company, rather than outsourcing property management to third parties.
