Domino’s Pizza has appointed a new group chief information officer, Suncorp insurance business tech chief Terry Powell.


Powell will commence the role in June, when current CIO Wayne McMahon moves into the role of chief digital and technology officer at Hungry Jack’s and KFC Australian parent company Competitive Foods.


Domino’s said Powell will work alongside the company’s group chief digital and technology officer Michael Gillespie across its seven markets globally.


His role will be to “ensure appropriate technologies are employed across the company’s global network to bring efficiencies and new ways to engage the company’s customers,” Domino’s said in a statement this morning.


Powell has been with Suncorp since 2009, most recently as executive general manager insurance technology and innovation labs.

Before joining Suncorp Powell held senior consulting and technology executive roles at Westpac, SMS Management and Technology and TD Waterhouse.


“He has a strong track record of delivering complex IT programs including simplifying core systems and insurance applications, successful transition to cloud computing, significantly reducing critical incidents, and as executive general manager security improving the company’s security resilience,” Domino’s said.


Under McMahon, Domino’s rolled out its GPS Driver Tracker for customers to follow their order from the store to their doorstep; faster order turnaround initiative Project 3TEN; an in-app voice assistant; and behind the scenes, automated rostering and automated stock processing tools for franchisees.



The company also trialled an autonomous delivery vehicle named DRU (Domino’s Robotic Unit) and drone deliveries.


Domino’s Group CEO and managing director, Don Meij said McMahon had been instrumental in laying the foundations for some of the company’s biggest platforms over the past seven years.


“Under Wayne’s leadership, Domino’s has grown from strength to strength delivering some of the world’s best information technology solutions,” he said.


“We have been a true disruptor in this space and the focus on technology over these past seven years, under Wayne’s leadership, has been critical in achieving this,” Meij added.

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Image
Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
