Stefano D’Anna

President

In his role as President, Stef (few people call him Stefano) drives the commercial growth of Footballco, leading the company’s global Sales, Strategy and Creative teams. Stef is also responsible for the content evolution of Footballco’s ever-growing portfolio of brands.

Prior to founding Footballco with Juan Delgado, Stef was the co-founder and Managing Director of Perform Group (now Stats Perform) and EVP of DAZN Media, from which Footballco emerged in late 2020 with backing from Integrated Media Company (IMC), an affiliate of the US private equity giant TPG.

Outside the Office
Stef has a busy family and personal life with four children and a dog. He is still heavily involved in his local rugby club and spends his Sundays coaching the Under 16 youth team.  He loves Scotland and spends as much time as he can up there in his old Landrover Defender, walking hills, cold water swimming and developing his Single Malt Whisky palate. 

Despite the love of Scotland, Stef hasn’t forgotten his Italian roots and spends a lot of time perfecting his Neapolitan pizzas and trying the best Italian wines he can find. He’s also a massive coffee snob.
