Papa John's International has promoted Amanda Clark from chief international and development officer to chief operating officer, international, focusing on the operations and development of the Papa Johns footprint in international markets, according to a press release.

Chief Restaurant Officer Joe Sieve will assume North American development responsibilities. He will also continue to oversee corporate and franchise restaurant operations in North America.

"With operations in approximately 50 countries and territories, our continued international expansion is critical to the future of Papa Johns," Rob Lynch, president and CEO of the pizza brand, said in the release. "We continue to make strategic investments across our international organization and infrastructure. Amanda's focus on executing this work and driving profitable expansion will greatly benefit our international franchisees. Our ultimate goal is to become the QSR pizza brand of choice for international franchisees.

"Since Joe joined Papa Johns last year, he and his team have significantly improved our restaurant operations. The results of these operational efficiencies have been evident in the recent comp growth and margin improvement across our domestic system. His more than 25 years of restaurant operations and development experience with other leading franchise restaurant brands will help Papa Johns accelerate our North America growth ambitions."
