About the speaker:

Derek K. Hubbard
Member of Southwest Airlines’ External Communication Team

Derek K. Hubbard’s career began when Michael J. Fox, Katie Couric, and Tina Brown told a then 20-something to pursue a career in broadcast and media. Now, Derek is privileged to tell stories for social and digital mediums as a member of Southwest Airlines’ External Communications Team. Before Southwest Airlines, Derek worked in London’s financial communications sector and also as a television producer in Dallas.

Whether on-camera hosting, interviewing people, or navigating music and entertainment content, he chases stories that transport people to new worlds, while satisfying his hunger to tell unique stories. Derek’s work was recognized when PR News named him a 30 and Under Rising PR Star.

When he’s not hosting a Facebook live stream for Southwest Airlines or traveling, you can catch Derek binge-watching his favorite TV shows or jamming to one of his Spotify playlists. Hit him up @derekkhubbard if you want to talk TV, music, social, or that random Bud Light commercial he did.
