Our People

Our People

At Torani, everything starts with people. We know when our people succeed, Torani succeeds, our partners succeed, and we all thrive. When media inquiries arise, here’s a selection of Torani people who can share our story.

Melanie Dulbecco
CEO

Want to know how to lead a company through 30 years of amazing growth? Sit down over a latte with Melanie and she’d love to share more. Melanie has steered our organization with a “Grow, baby, grow!” mentality since 1991. And while Torani is best known for our products, it’s our commitment to people that Melanie is most proud of. She is passionate about Torani’s purpose of “Flavor for all. Opportunity for all.TM” From becoming a Certified B Corporation to living and breathing “career mixology”, Torani has made an impact on all of the stakeholders we touch.

We invite the media to learn more about what Flavor for all. Opportunity for all.TM really means and have a conversation with Melanie. Email us at pr@torani.com!

Lisa Lucheta
Chairperson of the Board

In 1925, Lisa’s grandparents, Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre, founded Torani. Today, Lisa is the Chairperson of the Board. Torani remains fiercely independent and family-owned, largely due to Lisa’s passion and leadership. She provides the tie to our family legacy, and makes certain each Torani team member feels a part of the family. Whether Lisa is personally handing out every paycheck to over 200 Torani team members (just as her father, Harry, did) or leading the Community Team, her values inspire each of us and everyone around her.

Want to hear more about Torani’s family history and deep values? Reach out to Lisa.
