Struggling pizza giant Domino’s has tapped former McDonald’s Australia and New Zealand boss Andrew Gregory to take on the top job after Mark van Dyck’s abrupt exit.
Mr Gregory’s appointment on Wednesday comes amid a period of turmoil for Domino’s, currently being led by its billionaire chair Jack Cowin following Mr van Dyck’s resignation last July after less than a year in the role.
“Mr Gregory brings more than 30 years of quick service restaurant experience to the role, with a proven track record across franchised, multi-market businesses, and a strong focus on operational execution, franchisee economics and disciplined growth,” Domino’s said.
