The company said the decision was made for personal reasons and was not linked to a recent takeover bid launched by cvc, a European private-equity firm.

Investors view it as a thriving “super-app”.Domino’s, a fast-food company, has teamed up with Nuro, a robotics firm, to trial autonomous pizza delivery.
