Dave Brandon
CEO installed by Bain Capital at Domino's, credited with international expansion and menu revitalization.
“Bain Capital bought the chain from founder Tom Monaghan in 1998 for around $1 billion, at a time when its pizza crust was regularly compared to cardboard. It installed a new CEO named Dave Brandon, who was credited with everything from international expansion to menu revitalization to a successful marketing campaign starring Brandon himself. Domino's went public in 2004 and today has a $10.6 billion market cap.”
“Bain would later try to repeat the Brandon magic by putting him in charge of Toys 'R Us, but that one didn't work out so well.”
