Despite being awarded an additional $1.2 million in compensation, MillerKnoll CEO Andi Owen didn’t think twice before reprimanding her workers for complaining about bonuses. It certainly didn’t go over well for her. It was this video clip of her berating her employees for being in “pity city” for not getting their bonuses that went viral.

People have since taken to social media to criticize her choice of words and her overall outlook. Amid all the chaos, we’re here to tell you about her husband. Who he is and more.

His wife Andi, full name Andrea R Owen, was also born the same year in May.
Glenn Karpf’s work
Although it has not been verified, Glenn Karpf is said to be an animator and visual effects coordinator. A profile that appears to be his on IMDB goes on to say that he worked as a CG character animation coordinator in 2002. Spider-Manas visual effects coordinator in Patriot (2000) and Little Stuart (1999), and was a digital effects coordinator in Godzilla (1998). Here are all of his movies listed on IMDB and some other places on the internet.
As for his wife, most of us know that she is the CEO of Herman Millerparent company of MillerKnoll. In the company, whose shares have fallen about 1.6% since the bonus claims, Andi is also a member of the board of directors. She played a key role in bringing Herman Miller and Knoll together to form the company. MillerKnollSince August 2018, she has been the President and CEO here, responsible for nearly 11,000 employees.
If you don’t know, Herman Miller is an American company that manufactures a wide range of furniture, from office equipment to home furniture. One of their best-selling products is the Aeron Chair, which can be found in offices all over the world. MillerKnoll was only founded later in 2021. Since then, it has grown to include brands including DWR, Colebrook BossonAnd Edelman Skin.
The company’s latest proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows that Andi received a base salary of $1.1 million in 2022. And that’s not all. She also received nearly $1.4 million in stock awards, $867,000 in options, and $1.3 million in non-stock incentive compensation. That means she received $4.98 million in 2022, on her own.
This explains why people were so offended when she canceled her workers’ bonuses. While she took a huge bonus herself, she asked people to be nice and go out and make another $26 million in business, which certainly doesn’t look good to people who want to get inspired by the internet.
