Danny J. Triplett is a Partner Account Manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he supports strategic cloud partnerships across the Global Defense Industrial Base (G-DIB). An AWS-certified Solutions Architect Associate, Danny specializes in building high-impact alliances that accelerate cloud adoption for defense and national security organizations spanning sovereign cloud strategy, transatlantic defense cooperation, and defense industrial base modernization.
Before the cloud, Danny was on the gridiron. A proud Norwich University alumnus — the nation's oldest private military college — Danny studied Criminal Justice while becoming a dominant force on the football field.
He was a four-year starter and two-time champion for the Norwich Cadets, earning recognition as a standout competitor in one of the most storied programs in Division III football.
Danny's playing career extended well beyond Northfield, Vermont. He was an early NFL prospect, participating in the 2014 Baltimore Ravens combine, before being drafted to Ted Cottrell's MLFB Alabama Airbornes — the Mobile-based franchise in Major League Football coached by the legendary defensive coordinator known for innovating the 3–4 defense during his tenure with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. Danny also played arena football for the Boston Blaze under Rick Buffington, the former New England Patriots assistant head coach, Minor Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, and one of the most decorated figures in indoor football history.
Beyond the field and the cloud, Danny is a civic leader and serial entrepreneur:
CEO & President, BLAC PAC — A People First political action organization committed to funding ethical leadership, advancing real community solutions, and holding public servants accountable. BLAC PAC is a multifaceted, nonpartisan 527 nonprofit dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black, Latino, Asian, and Caucasian communities through strategic scaling, diverse fundraising, brand awareness, and community engagement fostering political empowerment and unity.
CEO, Founder, Mission Bridge Solutions — A consultancy bridging mission-driven organizations with the technology, strategy, and partnerships they need to deliver real-world impact.
CEO, United Community Network — A community-focused organization dedicated to strengthening local networks through collaboration, resource sharing, and grassroots empowerment.
Whether he's helping defense partners modernize on AWS, funding ethical leadership through BLAC PAC, bridging organizations to outcomes through Mission Bridge Solutions, or suiting up for a fourth-quarter drive — Danny's career is rooted in a single principle: people first.
