Domino's New CEO Aims to Simplify Structure and Drive Innovation

Joe Jordan assumed the role of Domino's CEO on October 1, stepping into the position after nearly 15 years of service across various company departments. Jordan's stated objectives include simplifying the company's leadership structure and continuing to prioritize innovation.

Having joined Domino's in 2011, Jordan has held positions in marketing, operations, and technology. He informed The Wall Street Journal that the CEO role presents a different perspective compared to previous leadership positions, despite his extensive experience with decision-making processes.

The new CEO has begun outlining Domino's future direction. A key organizational adjustment involves flattening the management hierarchy, with nine executives reporting directly to Jordan, eliminating an intermediate leadership layer.

Jordan also intends to increase the focus on innovation. As an example, he cited the company's recently introduced single-serving pizza, designed for individual customers, as representative of the product experimentation he wishes to encourage.

Domino's reported global retail sales exceeding $20.6 billion for the four quarters ending June 14. Total revenue for 2025 reached $4.94 billion. However, the company faces intensified competition and cautious consumer spending due to macroeconomic conditions, which contributed to slower domestic sales growth in the second quarter.
