Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd. announced a planned leadership transition in Japan to support the next phase of its business turnaround. Asia CEO Josh Kilimnik will assume interim CEO responsibilities for Japan, effective 3 June 2025, overseeing the business while a global search is undertaken for a permanent CEO. The search will prioritise a locally-based Japanese national with proven turnaround and operational expertise and is expected to conclude within six months.
Martin Steenks, currently CEO of Domino's Japan, will transition to Chief Operating Officer Japan. With his expatriate visa due to conclude in 12 months, Martin will continue in-market, focused on driving operational improvements and franchisee performance. These changes reflect Domino's commitment to strengthening execution in Japan and ensuring the business has the right leadership structure to deliver sustainable performance.
Day-to-day operations will continue to be led by an experienced local team, supported by regional and Group leadership.
