Apple’s former iAd VP (and Quattro co-founder) Andy Miller only just took a job as a general partner at Highland Capital last year after leaving the gang in Cupertino, but he’s now already moving on to another fairly high profile gig. Leap Motion has announced today that Miller will become its new President and CEO, placing him at the forefront of a company that’s facing the rather difficult task of actually delivering the goods after wowing most everyone with its new gesture control technology. As Fortune notes, however, the move doesn’t come as a complete surprise. Highland Capital is backing Leap, and Miller himself has reportedly been spending about 80 percent of his time on the company over the past few months. Miller hasn’t yet offered a statement on the move, but Highland partner Peter Bell told Fortune that Leap is “one of those companies that really feels different, and having Andy there makes us feel even better about it.”
