Little Caesars Enterprises Inc. has promoted Paula Vissing to the new position of chief operating officer, the company announced Tuesday.

The Detroit-based pizza brand said Vissing will oversee domestic and international operations.

Vissing joined Little Caesars in 2011 and most recently served as the senior vice president of international.

“Paula has an impressive track record within the company and has successfully led our international division for the last five years, which continues to see record-breaking results year after year," said David Scrivano, Little Caesars CEO and president, in a statement.

Prior to being named senior vice president of international, Vissing was Little Caesars’ vice president of purchasing and quality assurance.  Vissing also led global supply chain expansion, enabling international development efforts.

“It is an exciting time for the company as we continue to experience exponential growth both in the U.S. and internationally, and I am honored to have the opportunity to oversee the global operations of Little Caesars,” Vissing said.
