GoKawiilDomino's Names Joe Jordan CEO, Plans Flatter Leadership Structure
Joe Jordan became Domino's CEO on October 1 after nearly 15 years at the company, having joined in 2011 as vice president of innovation and worked through marketing, operations and technology roles. He told the Wall Street Journal he plans to have top executives report directly to him rather than naming a successor to his former chief operating officer post, and wants to push more product experimentation like the single-serving pizza launched in August.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Eliminating a layer of leadership could speed up decision-making at a $4.94 billion-revenue chain, though it also concentrates more oversight responsibility in one executive. Jordan's emphasis on continued product innovation suggests Domino's may lean further into menu experimentation to sustain growth as competition in the pizza and fast-food space intensifies.
