Pleasant Grove, Utah – dōTERRA International, recognized globally as a leader in essential oils and natural wellness solutions, has officially announced the return of its founder, David Stirling, as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
This leadership transition marks an important moment for the company as it continues its mission of empowering individuals and supporting global wellness initiatives.

David Stirling previously stepped away from his position as CEO in 2022 to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Armenia and Georgia. Although he temporarily left the executive role, Stirling remained actively involved with the company as a member of the board of directors.
Since returning last summer, he has reconnected with teams across the organization, strengthening relationships and reaffirming his commitment to dōTERRA’s mission and community.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the dedication, care, and commitment our teams and Wellness Advocates bring to dōTERRA each day,” said Stirling. “Being back with this community has only strengthened my passion for what we’re building together. I’m excited to be fully immersed once again as we continue our cause of helping the world to heal.”
His return signals renewed energy and focus as dōTERRA moves forward in the global wellness industry.
