Corey Scott outlines vision as new Dairy Management Inc. CEO

Corey Scott has begun her tenure as president and CEO of Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), succeeding Barbara O’Brien, who is retiring after 25 years with the organization. During the 2026 Joint Annual Meeting in Kissimmee, Florida, Scott detailed her strategic priorities for the dairy industry.

Scott’s primary objectives include increasing consumer demand and enhancing accountability for checkoff funds. She expressed an ambitious goal of encouraging consumers to add one additional serving of dairy to their daily diets by addressing trends such as protein demand, clean labels, taste, and convenience.

Additionally, Scott aims to ensure that farmers and importers can clearly articulate how checkoff dollars are being utilized. She emphasized the importance of maintaining open communication with producers to ensure industry investments remain relevant and impactful.
