Tiz Galipo - General Manager

Tiz joined Stage as a BDM in 2007 and was promoted to National Sales Manager within a few short years. After winning some of our most prestigious accounts and expanding our niche outfit to create more operational roles, he made the natural progression to General Manager. Tiz is extremely passionate about the Stage brand, it's people and the clients.
Backstage: Culture and food, Rome and New York, style and fashion... Tiz loves it all. And he loves working at Fox Studios among the stars, even if he's lost for words when eating lunch next to Nicole and Keith.

Paul Fortuna - Financial Controller

Stage's financial controller Paul Fortuna can rock out on the dance floor just as well as he can crunch numbers. As Stage's number one bean counter Paul brings loads of experience to his new gig at Stage, having held various financial management roles with parent company, Flight Centre Limited (FCL) and few other major institutions in Victoria and the UK. Initially joining FCL as an area accountant, it didn't take long before Paul climbed the ranks to become financial controller.
