Doug Willmore

CEO
World Tree

World Tree combines agroforestry with regenerative agriculture in order to grow sustainable lumber, sequester carbon, protect native forests, and build biodiversity and resiliency—all while delivering returns for investors. And as World Tree’s co-chair and CEO, I get to marry my love and care for the planet with my passion for building great organizations.

Prior to World Tree, I led the turn-around of a research pathology laboratory, growing its revenue by more than 2000 percent in just four years and leading to a successful exit. I have also had similar success stories as the City Manager of Bell, El Segundo, and Rancho Palos Verdes in California, as well as the Chief Administrative Officer of Salt Lake County in Utah, where, according to S&P, I led one of the most amazing public finance success stories of the 2008 recession.
