Craig Peters is the CEO of Getty Images, a major player in the visual content industry, where he has served since October 2019. With an MBA from Harvard Business School and extensive experience in media and technology, he has been with the company since 2007, rising through the ranks from COO to his current position. Before Getty, Craig worked for notable companies like the PGA Tour and FOX Sports Interactive, where he accepted an Emmy in 2005 for enhancing TV content. He’s known for his strategic vision across Getty Images, iStock, and Unsplash brands. Despite recent challenges, including a year with no bonuses or stock vesting due to performance metrics not being met, Craig continues to lead the company through a tough digital landscape. His considerable insider trading, with transactions valued at millions over 2023, indicates a strong personal investment in Getty’s future. Outside of work, Craig keeps a low profile but has built a reputation for his broad understanding of the industry and commitment to the company's success. His leadership style reflects a blend of accountability and a focus on long-term growth, while navigating the ever-changing digital world.
