Domino’s Pizza announced Monday that Joe Jordan has been selected as its next chief executive officer, with the change set to take effect on October 1.
Jordan currently holds the titles of chief operating officer and president at the pizza giant. Over the course of his 15 years with the company, he has built experience across marketing as well as U.S. and international operations.
Outgoing CEO Russell Weiner will step down after serving as the company’s top executive for just over four years. Rather than leaving the company entirely, Weiner will assume the role of executive chairman designate beginning October 1.
The leadership transition comes as Domino’s faces some headwinds in the marketplace. Back in April, the company projected slower annual growth both domestically and abroad, citing reduced consumer spending and increasing competition in the pizza industry.
