Elia grew up in a family of creative entrepreneurs — from goldsmiths to food service owners — where people skills, adaptability, and inventive thinking weren’t just encouraged, they were expected. At 15, she led her first team, setting the foundation for a career built on translating big ideas into real-world results.
Since joining Four Kitchens in 2013 as Office Manager, Elia has become a cornerstone of the organization’s evolution. Now as Principal and COO, she’s the architect behind the systems, structure, and culture that empower Web Chefs and their clients to thrive. Known for her calm clarity and ability to align vision with execution, Elia ensures that even the most ambitious ideas are backed by practical momentum.
Her leadership has guided Four Kitchens through pivotal moments, including two acquisitions and the successful rollout of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Her people-first approach to operational strategy centers on clarity, accountability, and the freedom to do meaningful, impactful work — always grounded in the mission to make a lasting difference.
Outside of work, you’ll find her quilting, globetrotting with her husband and young son, and doting on her two tiny Chihuahuas, Evie June and Wafer. Her favorite travel companion lately? A long black coffee.
