Highlights
- Domino's (DMP) CEO transition impacts shares
- Stock down over 33% in past year
- Part of broader leadership reshuffle
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (ASX:DMP) has made headlines on the ASX200 with the announcement that Kerry Hayman, its Australia and New Zealand CEO, will step down in August 2025. The long-serving executive, who has spent 37 years with the company, is leaving as the business pivots to a new growth strategy.
The announcement led to early morning softness in the company’s stock, which dipped 1.83% to AU$24.74 by mid-morning. Over the past 12 months, the stock has experienced a broader decline of more than 33%, making it one of the more closely watched names among investors in the ASX200 index.
Hayman, a key figure in the company’s regional and global success, has held numerous roles in Domino’s across Australia, the UK, and the US. Her departure follows the retirement of long-time global CEO Don Meij in late 2024. Meij, who had led the company for 22 years, was succeeded by Mark van Dyck.
To support the transition and bolster the executive team, Domino’s has appointed Greg Steenson as Chief Operating Officer. The company has also initiated an international search for Hayman’s replacement. These changes are part of a broader leadership restructuring announced last month aimed at aligning the company’s global strategy under a unified vision.
In a statement, Hayman said, “Domino’s is now entering a new chapter, with a clear ‘Recipe for Growth’ in place for Australia and New Zealand. With the business well positioned for the future, I feel confident that this is the right time for me to open a new chapter of my own.”
The leadership reshuffle comes at a pivotal time for Domino’s as it seeks to reinvigorate its operations and customer engagement strategies. As one of the more recognized consumer brands on the ASX200, Domino’s often features in discussions about consumer trends and corporate governance shifts.
