Domino's CFO leaves after less than six months

Domino’s Pizza has announced chief financial officer Paul Doughty is leaving the company and stepping down from the board at the end of the year.

The FTSE 250-listed company announced on Thursday that he had tendered his resignation after just five months in the role.

Doughty was appointed to the job on 8 June, and was lauded by chairman Stephen Hemsley at the time as having a “wealth of experience from a leading consumer brand.”

The company said in Thursday’s low-key announcement that it has already started the recruitment process.

Chief executive David Wild will assume responsibility for the group's finance activities in the meantime.
