Domino's Pizza boss quits for private equity arena Lance Batchelor, the chief executive of pizza delivery chain Domino's, is to leave the listed business next year after deciding to join a private-equity backed firm. The former head of Tesco Mobile joined the board of Domino's as a non-executive director in July 2010 and took the helm two years ago. Stephen Hemsley, chairman of the pizza firm, said: "Lance has been offered a new role in a significant private equity backed company and as a result has tendered his resignation. His new company operates in a non-competing sector. We have begun the process to find a replacement for Lance who will be with us until 30 April 2014 to help with an orderly handover to his successor. We wish Lance every success in his new role.
