Marco's Pizza hires former Domino's president as EVP

TOLEDO, Ohio — Marco's Pizza announced the appointment of P. David Black, former president and chief operating officer at Domino's Pizza in the 1990s, as its executive vice president.

 

According to a news release, Black will oversee operations, training and other store-level activities for 150-unit Marco's.

 

Black began his career as manager of a Domino's Pizza Store in Gainesville, Fla., in 1972, and later became a franchisee in Tampa and North Carolina. He joined Domino's corporate team in 1976 and within two years he was promoted to regional vice president for the southeast region.
