She will be succeeded by Timothy P. McIntyre, current vice president of communications, who has been with the company for 31 years. Liddle plans to depart in early May, according to a company press release.

"I can't say enough great things about both these executives," said J. Patrick Doyle, Domino's president and CEO. "Lynn has been a tireless representative of our brand on main street, Wall Street and in government. She has played key roles in many of our most significant financial events, including taking our company public in 2004; and has become a leading influencer in our industry. Tim has very deep institutional knowledge, having promoted and protected our brand reputation for many years. He has served as our chief company spokesperson and is well-known in public relations and crisis management circles. He very much deserves this promotion and I have great confidence that he will continue to do a stellar job in this new role."

He joined the company out of college in April 1985. He has held many communication roles over his years at Domino's, including building and leading its PR, social media, crisis, internal communications, and event-planning efforts. He is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University and serves on its College of Business Marketing Advisory Board. He is a board member of Food Gatherers, an Ann Arbor-based organization that exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in the community.

"I love this company, and am both honored and highly committed to continue representing Domino's in this expanded role," McIntyre said. "I'm very excited by the opportunities we have to continue to tell the Domino's story in a clear and compelling way."

Outgoing communication head Liddle joined Domino's in 2002 as executive vice president after a nearly 22-year career in communications for Valassis in Livonia, Michigan.
