Hope Hicks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hope Hicks has made waves in the past few days with a headline-grabbing professional move that may reshape her career for years to come. Variety reported that Hicks, most recently known as the former White House communications director for Donald Trump and then as Fox Corp. communications chief, has accepted the position of chief operating officer at Devil May Care Media—Megyn Kelly's production company. Kelly herself announced the hire this Monday and praised Hicks as “exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me—strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise.” This appointment comes amid Kelly’s expansion of her media empire; she has been rolling out new programs like “Am Update With Megyn Kelly” and is venturing into true crime content. Hicks’s executive role suggests she will be deeply involved in both day-to-day operations and steering strategic growth at a media organization riding the crest of the podcast and digital news wave.

On the social media front, Hicks hasn’t been especially active, but her name continues to spark debate and nostalgia among Trump World-watchers. Deadline noted a flurry of comparisons between Hicks and Trump’s new aide, Margo Martin, after Martin was seen at the Miami Grand Prix standing beside the former President and drawing attention for her own style and close circle status. Commentators on X and Instagram referenced Hicks as the “original inner circle confidante” and speculated about whether Martin might emulate Hicks’s rapid ascent through the ranks. While no direct posts from Hicks herself have surfaced, the echoes of her legacy in contemporary Trump staff moves keep her relevant in the news cycle, especially in political and conservative circles.

From a business perspective, Hicks’s shift from Fox Corp. to Devil May Care Media is a significant pivot. This is not merely a job change—it marks Hicks moving from legacy broadcast and corporate PR into the entrepreneurial media landscape alongside Kelly, one of the most high-profile independent news personalities in America. Industry insiders view this as biographically significant: Hicks is trading corporate safety for high-visibility, high-stakes private media operations. Such a transition could define the next chapter of her public life.

No major public appearances have crossed wires in the last 24 hours; Hicks’s activities seem focused behind the scenes, prepping for her new COO role and reportedly reviewing Devil May Care’s live event strategy and podcast partnerships. No unconfirmed rumors have gained traction—just the steady attention of media columnists dissecting what Hicks’s management style might bring to Kelly’s team.
