2022 40 Under 40: Jeremy Hill

Jeremy Hill’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic led to many happy Domino’s Pizza customers.

Hill, who serves as director of operations for local Domino’s franchisee A&M Pizza Inc., recalls realizing early in the pandemic how essential he and his team were, when many restaurants were closed temporarily and the need for food delivery services grew amid stay-at-home orders.

“I worked every day for the first 80 days to support my team’s effort to meet the demands of the business,” Hill, 39, says of the early days of the pandemic. “Implementing safety protocols and equipment was a daily task.”

For his work under fire, Hill last year was named Domino’s National Supervisor of the Year. “This is a true honor to be recognized for my leadership in a truly difficult time,” he says.

First job? Picking up rocks for my grandfather. My older brother was the foreman. This is where I learned hard work is its own reward. 

What about your job would shock people? How dedicated, smart and hardworking everyday people in the service industry are.

Professional aha moment? The day I realized that business success wasn’t limited to certain types of people. Anyone can work for it.

Best celebrity meeting/sighting story? I once ran into Ben Stiller in a Walmart in Rogers, Arkansas.
