Helen Verrochi, Director of Sales & Events

Native New Englander, Helen Verrochi, joined the Fireside team in 2022, as an event manager.  Her attention to detail and organization stood out from the beginning and she was a natural fit as we expanded the team at The Stevens Estate.  Helen brings over 20 years of hospitality experience to her position as Sales & Event Manager.  In her spare time you can find Helen spending time outdoors with her husband and two children, or entertaining at home. She enjoys cooking and makes a mean guacamole, but it’s her outstanding chicken piccata that inspires her children to suggest she challenge Bobby Flay.  

Ian Davey, Executive Chef

Born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, Chef Ian Davey has been working in the restaurant and catering industry since his early teens. He has held nearly every position in the kitchen, and quickly climbed the ranks in those early years. Though he gained valuable on-the-job experience, he decided to formalize his culinary education at the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu, in Paris. After graduating, he continued his culinary development in Parisian restaurant kitchens including L’Espadon and Le Violin d’Ingres, and at Boston’s esteemed L’Espalier and Menton. In recent years, Chef Ian helmed several high volume catering kitchens before finding his way to Fireside Catering. When he’s not in our kitchen, he plays hockey, works on home improvement projects and enjoys cooking steak in his own kitchen for his wife and two kids.
