PLEASANT GROVE, Utah -- February 3, 2026

Essential oils company doTERRA said founder David Stirling has returned as chief executive officer, effective immediately, succeeding Kirk Jowers. Stirling stepped away from the CEO role in 2022 to serve a church mission in Armenia and Georgia and remained on the company's board.

The company also named Jessica Moultrie, a Presidential Diamond Wellness Advocate, as president of North America. Isaac Wilson will continue as general manager of the United States, and Shannon Bible will remain executive vice president of North America.

"I'm incredibly grateful for the dedication, care, and commitment our teams and Wellness Advocates bring to doTERRA each day," Stirling said. doTERRA, founded in 2008, sells essential oils and wellness products through independent Wellness Advocates worldwide.
