Communication. Leadership. Impact.
Darrick Lee:
Communications Leader
I help Public Affairs teams succeed.
I'm a former active-duty Air Force senior officer (Colonel, O-6,) who recently completed a successful career in Public Affairs and Communications with the U.S. Air Force. My most recent job was representing the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Public Affairs as the Director of the USAF Entertainment Liaison Office in Los Angeles. As the Pentagon's eyes & ears in Hollywood, I promoted the image of the U.S. Air Force & Space Force in film and television.
I've led teams to tackle media relations, internal communication and community relations for several years in multiple military assignments/locales. Some of the more challenging jobs included serving as a Commander of an Audiovisual Squadron, and as a member of the USAF Thunderbirds aerobatic demonstration team (position #12.) I’ve held a Top-Secret federal government security clearance.
Now that I’ve hung up the uniform, I'm exploring opportunities and excited for whatever is next!
