Background

About Stefano Carbone

Passionate about hospitality and authentic travel, I have 7+ years of experience in the active travel industry, specializing in operations, leadership development, and team mentorship. I began my journey as a tour leader, guiding groups across Europe and the Americas. Traveling around the world has given me a deep understanding of the tourism industry and what it takes to create unforgettable experiences. With a proven track record of rapid career growth, I have consistently taken on increasing responsibilities every 1.5 years, gaining expertise in performance management, coaching and talent development. Currently leading European field operations at Backroads, I focus on building high-performing teams and ensuring seamless operations in each region. I believe adventure travel can inspire change and am deeply committed to sustainability, climate action, and responsible tourism. Trilingual (Italian, English, Spanish) and highly adaptable, I thrive in dynamic, people-centered environments.
