## Story

**Vissing has been responsible for the franchise’s largest period of growth in over 60 years.**

Little Caesars Pizza has announced that Paula Vissing will be the group’s first-ever chief operating officer.

Vissing has been with the brand since 2011, and most recently served as SVP of international. In this new role, she will be responsible for all domestic and international operations.

“Paula has an impressive track record within the company and has successfully led our international division for the last five years, which continues to see record-breaking results year after year,” said David Scrivano, president and CEO of Little Caesars. “I am thrilled to congratulate her on her new role as chief operating officer. Paula is a highly respected and proven leader within Little Caesars and there is nobody better suited to oversee global operations.”

Under Vissing’s leadership as SVP of international, Little Caesars experienced its largest period of international growth in the brand’s 60-plus year history. She has also previously served as VP of purchasing and quality assurance, where she led cost-saving and sourcing initiatives to support domestic growth.

“It is an exciting time for the company as we continue to experience exponential growth both in the U.S. and internationally, and I am honored to have the opportunity to oversee the global operations of Little Caesars,” said Vissing. “I look forward to continuing to work along with the Little Caesars leadership team, and organization as a whole, as we continue to bring great-tasting, affordable pizza to families around the world.”
