Domino’s names Doyle president, U.S.A., in realignment

ANN ARBOR Mich. Domino’s Pizza has promoted Patrick Doyle to the newly created position of president of Domino’s U.S.A. as part of what the company described as a series of key management changes. But chief executive David Brandon stressed that the realignment is not being undertaken to curb his authority as the company’s leader.

As part of the shuffling, David Mounts is relinquishing his duties as chief financial officer to serve as executive vice president of distribution and procurement, beginning in October. He will succeed Mike Soignet, who is retiring from Domino’s next month after 26 years with the pizza company.

Mounts will continue to lead the safety and security department, Domino’s said. Mounts’ duties as CFO will be assumed on an interim basis by Bill Kapp, currently vice president of finance and administration for distribution and supply chain, according to Domino’s.

Brandon said he has no timetable for finding a permanent successor to Mounts.

In announcing the changes, Brandon noted that he is negotiating with Domino’s board of directors to renew and extend his contract and that he expects the pact to be approved at a meeting in October.

“To be clear, these changes are not a result of a plan to diminish my role as CEO of our company,” Brandon said. “Patrick Doyle will report directly to me in his new leadership position.”

All leaders of administrative areas will continue to report to him, he added.

Doyle, a 10-year veteran of Domino’s, was recently executive vice president of Team U.S.A. He will be succeeded in that post by Scott Hinshaw, a 21-year Domino’s veteran who most recently was vice president of Team U.S.A.

Doyle also has led Domino’s marketing and international expansion efforts.

Domino’s, based here, operates or franchises 8,449 pizzerias in the United States and 55 other countries.
