Arthur Mills IV joined America’s Promise Alliance in 2022 as chief operations officer, leading the organization’s finance, human resources, legal, and technology groups. His wealth of experience in dynamic private sector and educational roles provides him with a unique perspective to this work and informs his leadership.

Before his time at NTC, Arthur spent nearly nine years with Fulton County Schools as a Broad resident and served the district’s students, staff, and school communities in several senior leadership roles.

Arthur's prior private sector career spanned twenty years in challenging strategy and financial management roles with General Mills, Dell, BNSF Railway, and GE Capital to build diverse international and domestic experiences.

Mills and his wife, Carla, happily live in the city of Atlanta, GA. He serves on the boards of several civic and volunteer organizations nationally and in Atlanta, focusing on mentorship, education, and the arts, including the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, NextGen Men and Women Atlanta, NCTQ, Jumpstart!, and TregoED.
