In a significant leadership move, Domino’s Pizza has appointed Kate Trumbull as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), marking a pivotal moment for the global pizza giant. The announcement, made by CEO Russell Weiner via LinkedIn, praised Trumbull for her remarkable creativity, passion, and boundary-pushing approach that has shaped the future of the brand over the last decade.
Weiner recalled his first meeting with Trumbull over 10 years ago when she was applying for a Program Leader role, noting her ability to balance big-picture thinking with an eye for detail. “Kate has this remarkable ability to see and seize on those big picture zeitgeist moments, while also understanding the importance of the finer details that make great marketing resonate with people,” Weiner wrote. He also highlighted her leadership in some of the brand’s most successful campaigns, such as the Carryout Tips and Emergency Pizza, as well as innovative product launches like Loaded Tots and Mac and Cheese.
Trumbull, who has spent 13 years at Domino’s, took to her own LinkedIn page to express gratitude for her promotion. She thanked Weiner and Domino’s President Joe Jordan for their unwavering support and recognized her teams and partners for their collaborative spirit, stating: “I’m proud of this moment and look forward to contributing to the continued success, growth, and expression of Hungry for MORE on a global scale.”
Trumbull’s impressive track record includes her leadership as Chief Brand Officer (CBO) and Senior Vice President of Brand & Product Innovation at Domino’s. Under her guidance, Domino’s has launched award-winning marketing campaigns, such as “Paving for Pizza,” which was a finalist at the Cannes Titanium Lion in 2019. Her efforts have consistently driven growth, innovation, and customer loyalty, positioning Domino’s as a marketing powerhouse in the highly competitive fast-food industry.
With over 18 years of marketing experience, an MBA in Marketing and Management from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, and previous roles at Procter & Gamble, Trumbull has proven to be a visionary leader in brand strategy and product innovation. As she steps into her new role, all eyes are on Domino’s as it continues to expand globally and push its “Hungry for MORE” strategy under her marketing leadership.
This promotion underscores Domino’s commitment to embracing innovative marketing that resonates with customers, and with Trumbull at the helm, the brand is poised for even greater heights.
