Willes to take helm of LDS firms
Mark H. Willes will take over the helm of seven companies in March when he becomes president and chief executive officer of Deseret Management Corp., which oversees for-profit commercial enterprises affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including the Deseret News.
He said Thursday that he is unsure if changes will happen at the Deseret News any faster than at the other six companies.
The newspaper is part of an industry that Willes has experienced at the top level. In the 1990s, he was chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Times Mirror Co., the parent of the Los Angeles Times, and he later became the Times' publisher.
