Team

Dylan Jones | Founder

Adventurous eater Dylan believes in capitalism with a purpose: fighting on the front line to make our interactions with nature more sustainable. An innovator in the mining industry, Dylan’s background as an operations manager and his love of getting his hands dirty in the outdoors, have given him a first-hand understanding of the environmental challenges facing the world.

Chris Baird | Co-Founder & Director of Marketing

Chris uses his passion for building up start ups into established brands to take on the challenge of introducing the West Coast to cricket protein. Keen to connect consumers with their food, Chris uses his position at the forefront of impact-focused marketing to spread the message about alternative proteins and the food of the future. 

John Larigakis | Co-Founder & Creative Director

John brings a wealth of advertising and design experience to the team and loves using his skills for the greater good. His work for Netflix, Volkswagen and other brands has gone on to win numerous marketing awards and named him Marketing Magazine's top 30 under 30 for 2015. He's also behind all of Coast's branding and design and loved the challenge of making such a new obscure product accessible to everyone. 

Stefanie Di Giovanni | Partner & Head of R&D

Driven by a love of healthy eating, Holistic Nutritionist Stefanie has been sneaking vegetables into cakes for as long as she can remember. As a child she ate so many carrots and pumpkins that she started to turn orange and she developed her love of unique cuisines with adventurous food tours in Istanbul and Tokyo. Now Coast Protein’s resident healthy chef is in charge of making cricket protein bars that hit all the nutritional notes and taste amazing.
