We are pleased to begin working with him closely on our global frozen pizza marketing initiative, and confident that his contribution will help transform our company into the global industry leader we have always envisioned. During one of our meetings in Denver, Dr. Reddy mentioned that one of his biggest regrets was not becoming the master franchise of Domino's Pizza, when he had the opportunity to do so. We are as excited as he is that he has decided to not make the same sort of mistake twice! Over this past year I have had the great opportunity to get to know and respect Dr. Reddy and it is easy to see why we are excited to exploit his 40 plus years of industry leading experience, connections and knowledge for the extreme benefit of the company and its loyal shareholders."
