Utah Business Magazine honors Willis for his transformative leadership in AI and design innovation

SILICON SLOPES, Utah: Today, Domo (Nasdaq: DOMO) announced that Chris Willis, Domo’s Chief Design Officer, won the Executive Excellence Award from Utah Business Magazine. The annual award identifies standout leaders in Utah’s business and tech ecosystem.

“Over my nearly fifteen years at Domo, I've had the privilege of helping build one of the first cloud-native, mobile-first data platforms from the ground up,” Willis said. “What drives me every day is our mission to democratize data and AI for everyone – from everyday practitioners to CEOs. By focusing on emotional design principles, we're not just making data accessible; we're making it genuinely useful for solving real, human problems.”

Willis has been instrumental in pioneering Domo's “emotional design” approach, which focuses on understanding individual customer needs holistically rather than creating one-size-fits-all solutions. Under his leadership, Domo's design team has transformed how organizations use data by developing AI-powered tools that produce remarkable results, dramatically accelerating how customers analyze and act on their data.

“Chris is an invaluable asset to Domo,” said Daren Thayne, CTO and EVP of Product at Domo. “Design is an integral part of the business – it transforms how users interact with complex technology. Chris’ ability to make complex, technical ideas digestible, and to do so with strong leadership, mentorship, and collaboration has a profound impact on our evolution and growth at Domo."

Willis’s commitment to accessibility has been particularly impactful, most recently with the launch of Domo's AI Chat feature, which enables users to communicate with databases in natural language, making the platform accessible regardless of technical background or work environment.

Chris’ impact extends far beyond product design. His team recently developed an AI framework that allows customers to use nearly any large language model with the Domo platform, giving them unprecedented flexibility in building and scaling AI tools.
