Domino's Adds Two Directors and Names Corie Barry Lead Independent Director
📣 The Announcement
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (Nasdaq: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, is reshaping its boardroom. It has appointed two new directors — Michael C. Creedon, Jr. and Anneliese Olson — to its Board of Directors.
👉 It also elected Corie Barry as the board's new Lead Independent Director. She takes over that role from Richard Federico, who stays on the board and continues as Chairman of the Audit Committee.
Both new directors, Creedon and Olson, will serve on the Audit Committee.
🏢 Company Context
👉 In simple terms, a company's Board of Directors is the group that oversees management on behalf of shareholders — hiring the CEO, setting big-picture strategy, and keeping leadership accountable.
Founded in 1960, Domino's runs a global network of more than 22,300 stores in over 90 markets. Its system is almost entirely franchised, with independent franchise owners running 99% of its stores as of the end of Q1 2026.
The company is also famously tech-forward: in the U.S., it generated more than 85% of retail sales in 2025 via digital channels.
💥 Why It Matters
The "Lead Independent Director" is a key governance role. When the same person or an insider holds a lot of power (Domino's has an Executive Chairman), the lead independent director acts as a counterweight — a strong, neutral voice representing shareholders and coordinating the other independent board members.
👉 Naming Corie Barry to this role signals that Domino's wants seasoned, independent oversight guiding its long-term strategy.
Adding directors with fresh consumer and technology backgrounds also hints at where the company sees its future: more innovation, more digital, more global reach.
📊 By The Numbers
- 2 new independent directors added
- 2018 — the year Corie Barry joined the Domino's board
- 22,300+ Domino's stores worldwide
- 90+ markets served
- $20.4 billion+ in global retail sales over the trailing four quarters ended March 22, 2026
- 99% of stores owned by independent franchisees
- 85%+ of 2025 U.S. retail sales made through digital channels
🚀 Strategic Angle
Each new face brings a specific kind of expertise. Corie Barry is CEO of Best Buy and already chairs Domino's Compensation and Human Capital Committee — she brings retail leadership, financial acumen and deep consumer insight.
Michael Creedon is CEO of Dollar Tree, which he joined as COO in 2022 before becoming CEO in 2024; earlier he was President of U.S. Stores at Advance Auto Parts, with prior roles at Tyco International and ADT Security. That's a heavy dose of large-scale retail operations.
👉 Anneliese Olson is President, Imaging, Printing and Solutions at HP Inc., with over 30 years at HP and more than seven years living and working in Asia Pacific — adding global and technology depth.
🔍 The Details
Executive Chairman David Brandon welcomed the newcomers, saying their experience leading consumer and technology-driven businesses will bring "valuable, fresh perspectives" as Domino's executes its long-term strategy, and praised Barry's "exceptional strategic insight, financial acumen and a deep understanding of today's consumer."
Barry said she was "honored" to serve and pointed to Domino's mix of a great brand, industry-leading technology, and a focus on "delicious and affordable pizza." Creedon cited the company's "customer-first culture," while Olson praised how thoughtfully Domino's has "integrated technology into their business."
🔮 What's Next
With the new members seated and Barry in the lead role, attention turns to how this refreshed board helps steer Domino's next chapter of growth and innovation. The two new directors joining the Audit Committee strengthens oversight of the company's financial reporting.

Domino's added retail and tech heavyweights Michael Creedon (Dollar Tree CEO) and Anneliese Olson (HP president) to its board, and elevated Best Buy CEO Corie Barry to Lead Independent Director. It's a governance refresh aimed at guiding the world's biggest pizza company's long-term, tech-driven strategy.
