In her position as the President of Team Washington, Inc. and a Franchisee of Domino’s Pizza LLC, Mary Lynne Carraway oversees the operation of fifty seven of the most successful Domino’s Pizza stores in the system. She serves on the Domino’s Pizza Supply Chain Advisory Board and is an active member of the Domino’s Franchise Forum, the Domino’s Women’s Leadership Forum and the Domino’s Franchisee Association.

Carraway’s ascension to President of Team Washington did not follow a typical career path. As the youngest of seven children, she grew up working in a family owned restaurant. She attended Brigham Young University, worked in hotels and entertainment and spent 10 years in the fashion industry, some of it living abroad in Paris. She thought she had found her dream job when she married her Prince Charming, David Carraway, and they started their family. Instead, Frank Meeks, founder of Team Washington, Inc. passed away in 2004 and within two and a half years of taking over the company, her husband, David, lost his battle with brain cancer. She then began the long, rigorous training process to become a Domino’s Pizza Franchisee.

Team Washington has thrived in the last 5 years since Carraway took the reins of the company. Team Washington is recognized as one of the top Franchises in the Domino’s Pizza system and has won three Gold Frannies, the highest award given to a franchisee, under her leadership. She won the Circle of Excellence Award for the Top CEOs in Washington, DC in 2010. In addition she received the Regional Woman of the Year Award for Domino’s Pizza LLC in 2011.

She encourages her team members to keep themselves healthy- both physically and mentally. She has competed in two adventure races with David, two marathons, completed the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, and has led her leadership team in several bike races and triathlons. In addition, Carraway has many other passions, which includes cooking for family and friends, reading, gardening, traveling and doing races with her children.

Mary Lynne has enjoyed this past year because of the many opportunities she has been given to speak about her husband and the company legacy that she is trying to carry on for her family and all of those that dedicated their life to Domino’s Pizza Team Washington. She resides in McLean, VA with her four children, Molly, Carson, Brandon and Hannah.
