Mark van Dyck resigns as CEO and MD of Domino’s Pizza Enterprise Limited

Jack Cowin will return as Executive Chair.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprise Limited Mark van Dyck, Group CEO and Managing Director of Domino’s Pizza Enterprise Limited, has advised the Board of his intention to step down, with his departure to take effect on 23 December 2025.

To support a smooth and effective transition, Chairman Jack Cowin will assume the role of Executive Chair on an interim basis, effective immediately, to work with Mr van Dyck and the executive team over the coming months.

As part of this transition, van Dyck has also stepped down as a director and will continue to support the Board and management until his departure at the end of the year.

During his time at Domino’s, Mr van Dyck reset core market business plans to improve topline performance, closed 205 underperforming stores (Japan, Europe, ANZ), removed low ROI spend and drove procurement excellence.

He restructured leadership across IT, marketing and finance, adding capability, lifting accountability and establishing the fundamentals of the turnaround plan for Japan, including leadership change. This included appointing a new Chief Financial Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and CEO/COO for Australia and New Zealand.

Cowin is the largest shareholder and Chairman of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd. He is also Chairman and Managing Director of the CFAL Group, operator of Hungry Jack’s – the exclusive master franchisee of Burger King in Australia – which operates over 480 restaurants and employs more than 25,000 people across Australia and New Zealand. Under his leadership, CFAL has grown to annual revenues exceeding $2.4 billion.

The news follows the retirement of Don Meij last year as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Domino’s Pizza Enterprise, and Domino’s ANZ CEO Kerri Hayman, who will step down in August.

DPE is currently embarking on a global search for a new Group CEO.
