The Deseret Management Corp. announced leadership changes at the Deseret News Wednesday, further enhancing its strong media role in Utah and the Intermountain West, as well as its continued expansion as a national source for in-depth news and commentary.
Robin Ritch was named president in a companywide announcement by Keith McMullin, CEO of Deseret Management Corp. Ritch succeeds Jeff Simpson, who will be leaving in June to serve a three-year ecclesiastical assignment for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Robin is a transformational leader,” McMullin said in a news release. “She has a strong ability to think strategically and also the ability to operationalize at a very high level. We are fortunate to have her in this role.”
