Hi, I’m Tim.
As Executive Vice President for Domino’s, I led internal communications, public relations, events, crisis communications, philanthropy, investor relations, government affairs and more until 2022, when I launched T/M Communications. I am dedicated to promoting and protecting franchise brands through strategy, advice, experience and inspiration.
I have provided counsel to and written for CEOs and leadership teams for more than three decades, and I have presented keynote addresses and hosted award programs for audiences from 200 to 10,000 across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia on topics ranging from Leadership to Crisis Management. (See a list of my speaking engagements in the Services section.)
During my career, I led communications during the end of Domino’s 30-Minute Guarantee; the launch of the “NOID” ad campaign; the sale of the company to private equity; and several restructures and CEO/Leadership transitions. I was honored for my role in managing a social media crisis, which became featured in college texts and professional journals. With a franchise owner, I co-authored the book, Hire the American Dream. My articles on leadership and crisis management have been published on franchising.com.
I chaired Domino’s internal charity, the Partners Foundation, and my team led campaigns that raised more than $98 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during my tenure.
In addition to supporting franchisees and their brands, I love reading historical fiction and biographies, running (particularly half marathons), traveling, hiking, snowshoeing and cheering on my favorite NBA team (the Detroit Pistons). In addition to consulting and speaking, I now teach a 300-level course called “Crisis Management in Public Relations” at Eastern Michigan University.
