Jason’s our CEO | Co-Founder, and brings a wealth of experience building many successful FMCG businesses. When he's not working at Destination Italy, you'll find him in the gym, out for a run, walking his dog Phoenix whilst listening to a podcast, or kicking the footy with his 3 kids. Jason’s favourite city in Italy is Reggio Emilia and, at this moment, his favourite Italian dish is a great Carpaccio (with Tiramisu a close second!!)

Steve is Sales Director | Co-Founder at Destination Italy & drives Sales. He first tasted what he believed to be the world’s best pizza in Meduno, Italy, back in 2010—and knew Australians deserved that same authenticity, without the airfare. After years spent researching flavours and visiting supermarkets around the world, Steve set out to realise his vision: bring Italy’s magic home. Through true-to-origin pizza and gelato, he’s helping people relive their favourite travel moments, one bite at a time.

Stu’s the CMO | Co-Founder behind Destination Italy, and he’s all about bringing the true Italian experience home to Australian tables. Based in Melbourne with two kids, he balances brand-building with early morning workouts, weekend sport, and a love of simple, honest food. For Stu, it’s not just about pizza & gelati, it’s about capturing the feeling of Italy: family, flavour, and slowing down to enjoy the good stuff.

At Destination Italy, Joyce, our CFO | Co-Founder helps keep the financials steady while the team brings a slice of Italy to people’s lives. She keeps the financials sharp and the plans practical; so the big dreams stay exciting and sustainable. Growing up in a family who adores Italian food, coffee, and desserts, she feels very much at home, even if she’s still dreaming of her first trip to Italy. When she’s not managing the numbers, Joyce enjoys good food, spending time with friends and family, and is often found “researching” Melbourne’s Italian restaurants, all in the name of professional curiosity, of course.

Bec brings her passion for people, culture, and connection to Destination Italy, helping our teams grow stronger every day. An enthusiastic sports spectator you’ll find her following AFL, Cricket, and Tennis just to name a few.  Bec loves nothing more than recharging with a sunny day, a Pilates session, and a cold glass of white wine while sharing a cheesy pizza. Her weekends are filled with family, footy, and making memories with her husband, kids and Darcy the golden retriever.
