Our Founders

Rob's a wannabe Italian. He loves their passion for life and food so much so that he and Annette bought a couple of Fresh Pasta businesses in 2011 that became Four Nonnas Fresh Pasta.

Annette actually has a bit of Italian blood but her main heritage is Czech and Slovak. She grew up in Melbourne surrounded by the food and passion of Melbourne's migrants.

Rob was originally a Chemical Engineer who spent 15 years as an Operations Manager for various food /biotechnology companies before stepping out as a Management Consultant and Social Entrepreneur.

Annette has had many and varied career forays from being a  Maths Teacher to Business Analyst at Coles Myer, to one of Cadbury's elite sensory analysts (yes she got paid to eat chocolate because of her heightened sense of taste and smell).

Neither of them can imagine a better job than being part of making it easy for people to get together and enjoy exceptional experiences of Good Times with Good Friends, sharing Good Food and Doing Good too.
