Hope Hicks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Hope Hicks, the former Trump White House communications director and one-time Fox Corporation comms chief, has been quietly re-emerging—with big, business-forward moves. Within just the past several days, her next chapter landed with a splash: She’s joining Megyn Kelly’s Devil May Care Media as Chief Operating Officer, as Megyn Kelly herself announced on Monday. According to IMDB and multiple news outlets, Kelly called Hicks “exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me—strong, smart, strategic, and the embodiment of class and poise.” This is a notable pivot for Hicks, whose post-White House career has spanned corporate communications and strategic consulting, but now she’s stepping into day-to-day executive leadership of a company with high ambitions and an expanding podcasting, true-crime, and morning-news footprint. Kelly has been actively expanding her offerings, and Hicks’ hiring signals a fresh corporate seriousness for the production company, especially as Kelly has previously spotlighted other prominent media personalities. There’s no sign yet of Hicks appearing on air herself, but sources close to the company say her role is “operational,” not on-mic—for now.
This is the most significant Hicks headline in the immediate news cycle, and it’s a move with clear biographical resonance. After serving at the highest levels of both government and conservative corporate power, Hicks is now leveraging her reputation, connections, and strategic acumen in the red-hot world of digital and conservative-aligned media. The timing is intriguing, too: As Kelly’s company unveils new programming and a true-crime vertical, Hicks’ hire may signal a long-term play to scale up and enter the content wars. There is no indication yet on social media from Hicks herself about the new role—she remains famously press-shy and rarely tweets or posts personally. Official company channels have announced the hire, but Hicks hasn’t yet broken her public silence on the matter. Observers are watching to see how much of her own voice, if any, she’ll bring to the company’s public face.
In terms of public appearances, there’s been no recent high-profile speaking gig, interview, or social media activity directly from Hicks. She continues to be discussed in political circles—especially given her testimony in the Trump hush-money case earlier this year—but no new legal filings, public comments, or behind-the-scenes leaks have surfaced in the last few days. The focus is squarely on her new position and what it means for her post-Trump, post-Fox trajectory.
As for broader cultural footprint, Hicks’ name still sparks debate: some see her as the polished, disciplined operator who helped shape the Trump White House’s media strategy, while critics continue to scrutinize her loyalty and actions during the 2016 campaign and beyond. But the overwhelming narrative these past days is about business, not politics—Hicks is taking a seat at a media empire’s executive table, and industry watchers expect her to bring her trademark discretion and strategic vision to this next act.
No major headlines broke about Hope Hicks in the last 24 hours beyond her new job, so for now, those hungry for drama or scandal will have to wait. But for anyone tracking the enduring influence of Trump-world alumni in media and business, this is a development to watch.
