Chairman of the Board at Domino’s

College Grove, Tennessee

Founded in 1960, Domino's Pizza is the recognized world leader in pizza delivery operating a network of company-owned and franchise-owned stores in the United States and international markets. In March 1999, Brandon was named Chairman and CEO of Domino’s Pizza by Bain Capital Partners, LLC after they acquired the world’s largest pizza delivery company in December 1998. At that time, the Domino’s acquisition represented the largest single equity investment Bain Capital had ever made.  Brandon re-built and expanded the Leadership Team by taking advantage of existing talent as well as recruiting talent from outside the organization.  Under Brandon’s leadership, Domino’s achieved significant growth and made significant improvements in product quality and customer service.  In 2004, Domino’s completed the largest initial public offering in restaurant history.  During his tenure, Brandon led the conversion of all domestic stores to a technology platform named “Pulse,” which enabled the transition to on-line ordering, pizza tracker, mobile ordering, and several other in-store technology benefits. As a result of continuous store growth, international expansion, consistent same store sales growth, and prudent cost management, Bain Capital investors were rewarded with total returns that were several times greater than their investment, and public shareholders purchasing DPZ stock at the IPO price in 2004 have received returns in excess of 800% of their investment.  Today, Brandon continues as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Domino’s Pizza, which operates approximately 15,000 stores in over 85 countries and boasts system-wide sales of over $13 billion.
