Domino's Pizza Group names seasoned industry veteran Andrew Rennie as its new CEO, succeeding Eliad Diaz Sese, who will transition to a non-executive director role. Rennie, known for his successful stint in Domino's major European operations, assumes his new role in August.
According to Reuters, Rennie previously served as Domino's Pizza's chief for major European franchise operations. He is now set to officially join the United Kingdom unit of the pizza chain as the new CEO in August.
Rennie will replace Sese, who worked as Domino's Pizza Group's interim chief in October 2022. This group owns, runs, and franchises the chain's restaurants in the UK and Ireland.
In his more than two decades working at Domino's Pizza Enterprises, the new CEO of the UK business already held several roles, including being the chief of the company's European division from 2014 to 2020. In any case, Sese is set to vacate his office on Aug. 7, but he will stay with the company and take on a non-executive director job.
UK's The Grocer further reported that currently, Andrew Rennie is a non-executive director of Domino's Pizza Poland. He is also the chairman of The Cheesecake Shop, which operates about 238 stores in Australia and New Zealand. He will assume the director role at Domino's Pizza Group on Aug. 1 and then take office as CEO on Aug. 7.
"I am delighted to welcome Andrew Rennie as our CEO. Andrew understands the power and potential of the Domino's brand as well as anyone in the business globally," Domino's Pizza UK chairman, Matt Shattock, said in a press release. "He is an energetic and entrepreneurial leader with an incredible track record of delivering growth in Domino's businesses around the world. All of us on the board believe that working with our brilliant colleagues and world-class franchisees, he is just the right person to take the business to the next level."
The incoming CEO, Andrew Rennie, also commented, "I am delighted and honored to be taking up the role of CEO of DPG. The Domino's brand is in my blood and I have admired the strong progress the UK and Ireland business has made in recent years."
