She will be based at the head office in St Albans, and will lead up a five-strong European leadership team.

Speaking about her appointment, Borda said: It is an exciting time to be joining the Pizza Hut Europe business and over the next few months and years my focus will be on making sure we have the best possible experience for our customer.

“We need to make it easier for them to find, order, pay, track and enjoy their pizza,” she added.

“Innovation in technology will be a big enabler, but our brand experience is ultimately delivered through the people who work in our restaurants, and I want to focus on their experience as well.”
