Domino’s Appoints Joe Jordan to CEO

Domino’s Pizza has announced a host of updates to its leadership. Joe Jordan will step into the role of CEO, effective Oct. 1, and will join the company’s board of directors. He will succeed Russell Weiner, who will retire as CEO and become executive chairman. David Brandon, currently executive chairman, will retire from the board following 28 years of service.

Jordan most recently served as COO and president-Domino’s U.S. He has spent nearly 15 years in leadership roles across the company’s marketing, U.S. and international operations, technology and franchisee support. He helped deliver strong same store sales growth and led Domino’s international business through a period of record expansion.
