Δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω” / “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth.
— Archimides

Stefano has been an integral part of our family since 2016. He holds an MBA degree, with specialisms in Leadership and Innovation. As Managing Director, Stefano oversees all operations of the franchising business together with his team in the Middle East and drives the company’s growth strategies and expansion plans in the region.

Stefano has quickly climbed the ladder, performing various management roles for the group and has driven the Group’s expansion in the UAE and the Middle East.

Stefano's core beliefs, inspired by his late father, are to work hard to get want you want out of life as well as bring limitless generosity to everyone’s day. 

With a background in finance and commodities, his journey in the industry took root in 2008 following which Stefano owned and managed a string of successful businesses in hospitality, distribution and catering.

During his time with the group, Stefano recalls many impactful moments. Flourishing professionally alongside his team, packing meals for the less fortunate, embracing new faces at new stores and taking inspiration from his mentors – Natasha and Savva – whom he cites as having played “an incredible, motivational role in every single individual’s life at the Tashas Group.”

He’s also a passionate reader and writer of poetry and loves music.
