Just as Domino's announced its thoroughly successful Q2 results yesterday, the company also said its CFO and Executive Vice President Jeffrey D. Lawrence is retiring from Domino's after more than 20 years of service. He has served in his current role for the last five years and has agreed to continue serving as CFO until the company finds his successor, a news release said.

After a new CFO is named, Lawrence will relinquish the role and serve as an advisor to CEO Ritch Allison until the end of this year.

"Jeff has been a trusted teammate for more than two decades at Domino's and has been a key contributor to the success of our global brand," Allison said in the release. "As our CFO, he has an outstanding track record of creating strategic value for our great system."

For his part, Lawrence expressed a true sense of gratitude for his time at the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company.

"Wow. What a ride!" he said in the release. "To be able to be part of the Domino's growth story over the past two decades has been a dream come true. Domino's is about opportunity, and the constant opportunities I've had to learn, grow and lead have been simply amazing.

"From a lead role in our IPO, to partnering with our U.S. and International franchisees to get to No. 1, to helping shape our digital transformation over the past decade. … I've had the chance to work with amazing people to sell more pizza and have more fun! …

"Being in the stores is what I will miss the most! After taking some time off with my family, I will move on to my next adventure forever proud of what we've all built together."

The 60-year-old Domino's brand now has more than 17,100 locations in more than 90 markets globally.
