Deseret Management Corp. announced a leadership change at Deseret Book Co. Thursday.
Laurel Christensen Day will be the new president of Deseret Book Co., replacing Jeff Simpson, who is leaving in June to serve a three-year ecclesiastical assignment for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“We were fortunate enough to have several strong internal and external candidates available to us,” Keith McMullin, CEO of Deseret Management Corp., said in a statement. “Laurel has a dynamic combination of natural leadership, creative experience and institutional knowledge that will serve Deseret Book well and makes her the right person at the right time.”
