IRVINGTON, NJ, June 12, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Yakeema Tyler-Lee has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who, an honor reserved for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, achievement, and influence in their respective fields. Selection is based on factors including professional accomplishments, visibility, and significant contributions to society.

Ms. Tyler-Lee has built an exemplary career in security management, distinguished by over 25 years of dedicated service to The Shubert Organization, one of the foremost theatrical producing organizations and theater owners in the United States. Her tenure with the organization began in 1998, when she was hired by then director of security Stephen Skipper as a security guard. In this foundational role, she conducted roving patrols, safeguarded patrons and staff, and connected individuals in distress with appropriate services, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to safety and care.

Her exceptional performance led to her promotion to dispatcher, where she was responsible for coordinating theater-wide operations and serving as a key liaison with the New York Police Department and the New York Fire Department during emergencies. Recognized for her leadership and organizational aptitude, she was later promoted to supervisor, overseeing a team of five to ten patrol officers and ensuring the efficient and secure operation of theater facilities.

Ms. Tyler-Lee continued to rise through the ranks, first as assistant director of security, and ultimately into her current role as director of security. In this capacity, she leads critical functions such as scheduling, payroll processing, licensing compliance, and ongoing staff readiness. She is deeply invested in the development of her team, regularly mentoring and training staff to ensure they are mentally and physically prepared to meet the demands of their roles.

A respected leader in theater and entertainment security, Ms. Tyler-Lee is a recognized expert in managing safety operations in New York City's iconic Broadway venues. As one of the few African American women in senior security leadership in her industry, she serves as a powerful role model and advocate for diversity and inclusion.

Her academic achievements reflect her resilience and determination. Despite the challenges of early motherhood, Ms. Tyler-Lee pursued higher education while working multiple jobs, earning an associate degree in business management and later a bachelor's degree in business management from Kean University in 2024. She also holds several professional credentials, including the Certificate of Fitness F-04 from New York State and a diploma in Child Care Management from the Stratford Career Institute.

In addition to her professional responsibilities, Ms. Tyler-Lee is committed to philanthropy, supporting charities focused on hunger relief and community development. Her personal passions include travel, attending theater performances, and enjoying restorative time with family and friends.

Known for her authenticity, empathy, and unwavering sense of purpose, Ms. Tyler-Lee has earned the admiration and trust of her colleagues and community.
