Alma Derricks is a business builder and strategic advisor who thrives in disruptive spaces.
Over a 30-year career spanning media, entertainment, technology, hospitality, and consumer products, she has done what few executives can claim: repeatedly creating something from nothing inside some of the world's most complex organizations.
As Managing Partner of REV, Alma partners with Fortune 50 leadership teams, founders, and creators to craft award-winning campaigns and navigate the critical moments that define organizations — competitive inflection points, moments of reinvention, and the launch of new brands and businesses.
She has architected new ventures and customer strategies for Amazon, Verizon, Mattel, NBCU, Fox, SiriusXM, and Southwest Airlines. She launched ground-breaking digital networks for Star Trek, Peanuts, and Dilbert, and has driven high-profile brand partnerships with Microsoft, VICE Media, Samsung, The Beatles' Apple Corps, The Michael Jackson Estate, Disney Parks, and MGM Resorts. She has also held senior leadership roles at HBO, Paramount, The Los Angeles Times, El Rey Network, Korn Ferry, Deloitte, and Cirque du Soleil.
Her keynotes on innovation, leadership, and cultural intelligence bring sharp insights and rare executive candor to premier business and technology forums worldwide, including Adobe Summit and CES. Audiences leave with more than frameworks. They leave with a fundamentally different way of seeing the competitive landscape — and their own role in shaping it.
She is an NACD Directorship Certified® board advisor, a founding member of the Point Foundation Corporate Advisory Board, and a past president of the Stanford National Black Alumni Association. She holds a BA in International Relations from Stanford University and an MBA from Georgetown University.
