Kerri Hayman, COO of Domino's Pizza Enterprises ANZ has announced she will step down following 37 years with the company.
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited has that ANZ CEO Kerri Hayman will step down in August 2025, after an exceptional 37-year career with the Domino’s brand across Australia, the UK, and the USA.
“Working with Domino’s has given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life, both professionally and personally, and I’ve developed lifelong friendships with passionate pizza people around the world,” said Hayman.
“I’ve been privileged to serve the Domino’s brand for 37 years, my entire working life, across Australia, the UK, and the USA. I want to thank the Board, our franchise partners, and my colleagues for the opportunity to serve as their Chief Executive Officer. This is the right time for me to take the next step in my journey.”
Since returning to Australia in 2023, Hayman said she was proud of the work the team has done to strengthen operations, from improving product quality and growing new occasions like lunch, to delivering stronger sales and profits for our franchise partners.
“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 this is the right time for me to open a new chapter of my own.”
Group CEO and Managing Director, Mark van Dyck, paid tribute to Hayman’s significant contribution.
“Anyone who has worked with Kerri knows her deep passion for pizza, people, and the success of our franchise partners. Since her return to Australia, she has helped make Domino’s a stronger, more resilient business, drawing on her global experience and unwavering commitment to operational excellence,” said van Dyck.
“On behalf of the Board and Executive Team, I thank Kerri for her outstanding service and wish her every success in the next phase of her career.”
Domino’s has appointed experienced leader, and former franchise partner, Greg Steenson, to the role of Chief Operating Officer, Australia, effective immediately.
Steenson is one of the most awarded team members in the Domino’s system, twice recognised as Multi-Unit Franchisee of the Year, ANZ Manager of the Year, and the recipient of multiple leadership awards.
He transitioned from franchising to lead a turnaround of corporate stores in 2022, before his appointment as Head of Operations, ANZ in 2024.
As Head of Operations, Greg has driven improvements in store systems and processes, including the integration of third-party delivery.
Hayman will remain in her role through to August 29 to support continuity, leadership transition, and the delivery of Domino’s new strategic plan, the ‘Recipe for Growth’.
The Company has commenced an international recruitment process, including internal candidates, to support a smooth transition to new leadership in the months ahead.
