The company's first CEO, Clark Gilbert,[1] served from DDM's founding in 2009 until 2015 when he was named president of BYU-Idaho.[2] Gilbert later became an LDS Church general authority and as of 2024 continues to serve as the commissioner of the Church Educational System.[3] Greg Peterson was DDM's president from 2016 to 2021.[4] As of 2024, the president is Nate Hatch, a former Assistant Vice President of Technology at Brigham Young University.[5]
