William O. "Bill" DeWitt III is the current President of the St. Louis Cardinals. He has held his position since the 2008 season. DeWitt is the third generation in a family with an extensive history with St. Louis baseball; he is the son of William DeWitt, Jr., currently owner, managing partner and chairman of the Cardinals, and the grandson of Bill DeWitt, a former St. Louis Browns and Cincinnati Reds owner and executive and a protégé of legendary Cardinals general manager Branch Rickey.

DeWitt grew up in Cincinnati but moved to St. Louis when his father's ownership group purchased the Cardinals in 1996. He graduated from the Taft School (1986), earned an undergraduate degree from Yale (1990) and an MBA from Harvard Business School (1995). Between earning his undergraduate and master's degrees, DeWitt served as an assistant to William K. Reilly, a former Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Before his appointment as Cardinals' president, DeWitt joined the Cardinals and became the head of merchandizing in 1996. He also gained experience in marketing and operational tasks. He helped develop the Cardinals' spring training home in Jupiter, Florida, Roger Dean Stadium, which opened in 1998. After becoming the team's senior vice president of business development, he led the design and construction of the Cardinals' ballpark, Busch Stadium, which opened in 2006.
