SARA PANTALEO
Leading with Purpose, Impact, and Heart
Sara Pantaleo’s journey is a powerful testament to the impact of visionary leadership, innovation, and purpose. Starting her career at NAB IT, she then went on to boldly transform La Porchetta, a family business, from a 12-store operation into Australia’s largest franchised à la carte restaurant group.
With a deep passion for people and growth, Sara’s leadership goes beyond performance metrics. At La Porchetta, she built a diverse and high-performing team, fostering a collaborative and values-driven culture. Her commitment to sustainability and social responsibility led her to co-found both the Moira Kelly Creating Hope Foundation and Affari SP, a consulting firm that empowers small businesses through ESG principles and circular economy thinking.
Sara’s influence extends well beyond her executive career. She has served on national boards including the Franchise Council of Australia and Family Business Association, advocating for the franchising sector and multigenerational businesses. Her leadership continues through roles in organisations focused on financial literacy, healthcare, and community development, each reinforcing her commitment to inclusion, well-being, and social impact.
