Domino Pizza CEOs Australia and New Zealand Kerri Hayman have resigned.
Ms. Heyman made a statement on Monday that she took the next step in her career after 37 years at the company, where she worked for nine months.
“The collaboration with Domino has brought me the most meaningful experience of my life, both professionally and personally – I have built a lifelong friendship with passionate pizza people around the world,” she said.
“I am honored to serve Domino throughout my entire work life in Australia, the UK and the US.
“I want to thank the Board, our chartered partners and my colleagues for the opportunity to serve as CEO.”
Domino has appointed former franchise partner Greg Steenson, with Australia’s chief operating officer effective immediately.
Mr. Steenson recently served as head of operations within the company.
Mark van Dyck thanked Ms. Hayman for the service provided to the company in a statement to ASX, Group CEO and Managing Director.

Ms. Heyman said: “The collaboration with Domino has given me the most meaningful experience of my life.”
“Anyone who works with Kerri knows that she is passionate about the success of pizza, people and our franchise partners.”
“Since she returned to Australia, she has helped Domino’s stronger, more resilient business draw on her global experience and unwavering commitment to operational excellence.
“On behalf of the Board and the Executive Team, I thank Kerri for his outstanding service and wish her all the success in her next career. ”
Ms. Heyman will continue to take on her role on August 29 to support continuity, leadership transition and Domino’s new strategic plan “Growth Secrets”.
Ms. Heyman started her career at the age of 15 and made pizza for her brother Don Meij, who was the store manager at Domino at the time.
Ms. Heyman served as a franchisor, district manager and state manager for the first decade of her career.
Prior to her role as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer, she continued to serve as the company’s operations manager and director of operations.
For three decades, Ms. Heyman has been attacked to lead the brand’s Australian and New Zealand operations.
Her appointment allowed Mr Meij, who became CEO of Pizza Enterprises in Domino, focusing on the international foothold of the chain.
After 22 years of work, Mr. Meij resigned from his position as global CEO in 2024 only one month later.
His last two years in the chain were contaminated by shocking brand performance in the Asian and European markets.
On Monday, the company suggested it began an international recruitment process, including internal candidates, to “support a smooth transition to new leaders in the coming months.”
