The men, President and founder Mats Malmberg, 41, Chief Operating Officer Chase Bales, 51, and Chief Financial Officer Damian Riddoch, 37, were returning home from a business trip when the accident happened.
It's reported the pilot radioed for an emergency landing at Tulsa International Airport, as the aircraft was running low on fuel.
The plane crashed shortly after in a heavily wooded area.
