There is no leader of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) specifically over the state of Utah. The closest position would be Elder Steven E. Snow, one of the seven presidents of the Seventy. He presides over the Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City, and Utah South areas of the Church. Some of these area boundaries extend into neighboring states, so he oversees more than just Utah. Also, some parts of northwestern Utah are in the boundaries of the Idaho Area, which is overseen by Elder Donald L. Halstrom, another of the seven presidents of Seventy.
"Areas" within the Mormon church are geographical groups of several stakes (a stake is a group of congregations). Utah is unique in being split into so many areas, due to the large Mormon population. Other areas are much larger (for example, the North America Northwest Area covers the east coast of the US And Canada from the northern border of California all the way to Alaska; and the Europe Area covers every European country west of Belarus and Ukraine.) Leaders are not assigned over a certain city, state, province, or country but over a geographical area covering a certain number of members.
The worldwide headquarters of the Mormon Church is located in Utah, and most of the international leadership lives in Utah. The leader of the entire church is Thomas S. Monson.
So, to summarize:
The leader of all Mormons, who happens to live in Utah: Thomas S. Monson:
The leader of Mormons who live in Utah: not an existent position; Steven E. Snow and Donald L. Halstrom oversee Utah and portions of bordering states.
