dōTERRA announced significant changes to its executive team. Founding Executive and former President Emily Wright will now serve as Chair of the Board. Kirk Jowers has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Murray Smith, formerly Executive Vice President of International, has been named President.

These appointments follow Corey Lindley’s recent retirement from CEO.

Jowers has been a part of the dōTERRA team since 2015 and has been an instrumental part of guiding the company’s expansion and success across Europe, Middle East and Africa. He was the first non-founder on the company’s executive committee and led the company’s international, corporate, public and government relations.

“I am truly honored to be entrusted with this position to serve dōTERRA’s incredible Wellness Advocates,” Jowers said. “I will put my whole heart into building on the foundation that the founders have laid and continuing dōTERRA’s world changing vision, mission and purpose. dōTERRA is poised for massive growth and I can’t wait to get started.”

Smith has more than three decades of industry experience and has been an important part of the company’s growth and success as he oversaw all aspects of dōTERRA’s European operations.

Wright will continue to remain active in the day-to-day operations of the company, but will now focus her energy on setting growth strategies and supporting the company’s independent distributors.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kirk Jowers as our new CEO and Murray Smith as President,” Wright said. “Their combined expertise and dedication will further propel dōTERRA’s mission of helping the world heal by empowering individuals and communities worldwide through our natural wellness solutions. As we move into our next phase of massive growth, bold, capable leadership is required. We’re on our way to fulfill our mission to triple our impact by 2030 and to expand our influence for good around the globe!”
