About Me
Gina Vecchiarelli and her sister Terry Leprino inherited a 90% stake in $3.6 billion (estimated annual revenue) Leprino Foods after the death of their father James Leprino in June 2025. James Leprino built the company his father founded in 1950 into the world's largest mozzarella cheese maker, after pioneering the technology for manufacturing pizza cheese at scale. Leprino manufactures and sells more than 1 billion pounds of cheese annually and supplies cheese to Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's and other pizza brands. Vecchiarelli's husband Dan Vecchiarelli took over as chairman and CEO of Leprino Foods around 2023. Gina Vecchiarelli has kept a low profile, but her father told Forbes in 2016 that she was "running a program for Make-A-Wish" and that she was focused on mothering her two daughters, who were about to graduate from college.
