Named Brandweek’s 2010 Marketer of the Year in the restaurant category, Weiner was responsible for the reinvention of Domino’s menu (over 80 percent of which is new or revamped since his arrival at the company), which led to record-setting sales increases beginning in 2010 and continuing to this day.

Weiner was named one of the 10 Who Made Their Mark in 2010 by Advertising Age, joined by the likes of Betty White and Conan O’Brien.
Prior to joining Domino’s in 2008, Weiner led the marketing for Pepsi’s $14 billion North American cola business, overseeing $250 million in advertising and promotional spending. He has both Emmy and Effie award-winning television commercials to his credit, and led the development and launch of Diet Pepsi Max and Pepsi’s largest promotion ever, “Pepsi Stuff.” He was named one of Brandweek’s 2008 Top 10 Marketers of the Next Generation and was listed in Advertising Age magazine’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2007.
In February 2017, he joined the Board of Directors of The Clorox Company, also serving on its audit committee. Weiner earned his M.B.A. in marketing and international business from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2001.
