“Everett Martinez is a creative, forwarding-thinking leader who has been critical to DEN’s success over the last six years, and we are excited for him to serve as General Counsel for DEN,” Denver City Attorney Kristin Bronson said in the release. “He is an experienced attorney who is also a devoted mentor to junior attorneys and a significant contributor to our equity, diversity, and inclusion goals.”

Martinez has been with the City Attorney’s Office since 2016 and most recently served as the airport’s assistant general counsel since 2020. Before that, he was a public finance attorney for Kutak Rock. He earned his degrees from the University of Colorado Boulder and Harvard Law School.

“In 1993, I toured DEN during its construction and was in awe of the facility,” Martinez said in the release. “It’s been a dream come true to represent the airport, and I am honored to be selected to lead such an exciting enterprise.”
