Wellington Webb spent 12 years as the leader of Denver's MileHighCity, and helped drag it out of the economic doldrums of 1991 to an investment of $7 billion in infrastructure when he left office in 2003. 

He is the managing director of Webb Development Group, a mixed-use real estate development firm, and board member of Alliance Development Partners Incorporated, a real estate development firm.

Wellington Webb serves on the board of directors of Maximus Corporation, Maldef (Mexican American Legal Defense Fund) and is the President & CEO of the Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce. He also serves on the advisory board for U.S. Bank. He is a member of the Denver Rotary, a 33rd Degree Mason and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi and Sigma Pi Phi fraternities.
 

As mayor, he oversaw the completion of $4 billion DenverInternationalAirport and redevelopment of the former StapletonAirport into a thriving residential and business area. He also helped convince voters to approve a $300 million addition to the ColoradoConvention Center, which opened December 2004, and pushed through difficult negotiations for a nearby privately-publicly funded Hyatt hotel which opened in 2005.

Webb was instrumental in convincing the city to create Denver Health Medical Authority in 1997, which eliminated a cash deficit of $39 million. The mayor led the campaign for nearly $290 million in voter-approved bonds for improvements to the hospital and property. He also added more than 2,000 acres of new parks and open space to the city _ the largest addition of park land by any mayor in Denver's history. Voters also approved $96 million for neighborhood and park improvements; and $125 million for a major expansion of the DenverArt Museum and improvements to the Denver Zoo.

Prior to being elected mayor, he served in the Colorado State Legislature; was appointed a Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under President Jimmy Carter; was appointed Executive Director of Colorado's Department of Regulatory Agencies under Governor Richard Lamm; and was elected Denver's city Auditor.
