Domino’s Pizza said ANZ CEO, Kerri Hayman will step down in August this year after a more than three-decade career spanning across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
In a release from the company, Hayman said working for Domino’s was a rewarding experience but that now was the right time to step away.
“I’ve been privileged to serve the Domino’s brand for 37 years - my entire working life - across Australia, the UK, and the USA. I want to thank the Board, our franchise partners, and my colleagues for the opportunity to serve as their Chief Executive Officer,” she said.
“Since returning to Australia in 2023, I’ve been proud of the work we’ve done to strengthen operations — from improving product quality and growing new occasions like lunch, to delivering stronger sales and profits for our franchise partners.”
Hayman will remain in her role until 29 August to support continuity, leadership transition and delivery of Domino’s new ‘Recipe for Growth’ strategic plan.
“Domino’s is now entering a new chapter, with a clear ‘Recipe for Growth’ in place for Australia and New Zealand,” Hayman said.
“With the business well-positioned for the future, I feel confident this is the right time for me to open a new chapter of my own.”
Domino’s has appointed experienced leader, and former franchise partner, Greg Steenson, to the role of Chief Operating Officer, Australia, effective immediately.
The company has also commenced an international recruitment process, including internal candidates to support a smooth leadership transition.
Group CEO and managing director, Mark van Dyck paid tribute to Hyaman’s significant contribution.
“Anyone who has worked with Kerri knows her deep passion for pizza, people, and the success of our franchise partners,” he said.
“On behalf of the Board and Executive Team, I thank Kerri for her outstanding service and wish her every success in the next phase of her career.”
At the time of writing, Domino's (ASX: DMP) stocks are trading at A$24.62, down 2.34% from yesterday’s close. Its market cap is $2.33 billion.
