About Our Founder
Shelli Benfatti has been in love with travel for her entire life. Having a pilot as a father as well as an ingrained sense of hospitality inherited from a family who was always entertaining, creating unforgettable experiences in magnificent places is something that has been imbued in Shelli’s DNA.
After graduating from Pepperdine University—where she spent a year fermenting her love of travel while studying abroad in Florence—Shelli pursued a career in experiential marketing in New York City. There, she produced events for luxury lifestyle brands David Yurman, Stephen Webster, and Brooks Brothers. Whether organizing the Baselworld international watch and jewelry fair in Switzerland, entertaining clients at the Kentucky Derby or for a week of golf in Scotland, producing a fashion show in Tokyo, or leading a brand’s bicentennial celebration concert and gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, Shelli has always thrived on creating inimitable events and experiences.
Shelli founded Integrari to bring a specialized type of travel to those with a discerning taste for experiencing the very finest. Synthesizing a love (need!) for travel, fourteen years of event expertise in the luxury space, an acutely defined taste-level and obsession over the details, along with the diverse relationships cultivated throughout her career, Shelli created Integrari to offer a distinguished beacon through which clients may experience luxury travel in a refreshing new way.
Shelli currently lives in Denver with her dachshund Gnocchi.
