About

Benjamin Nasberg grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, surrounded by a close family, hockey rinks, and a strong sense of community. He started working in restaurants at 16, drawn to the energy of the kitchen and the feeling of being part of a team. Those early jobs taught him discipline, patience, and how much impact one good leader can have on a workplace.

After graduating as valedictorian from Shaftesbury High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba. But instead of following a traditional path, he trusted his instincts. In 2011, two friends approached him with an opportunity to help grow a small restaurant called Carbone. He saw potential and took the leap.
Nasberg helped expand Carbone from one location to several across North America. Along the way, he launched a nightclub, a sports bar, and an events company. Each venture came from observing what people needed and finding a way to bring those ideas to life.

His work extends beyond business. During the pandemic, he created the Restaurant Emergency Support Fund, which bought meals from local restaurants and delivered them to people facing food insecurity. The program served tens of thousands of meals. He also co-created the Westland–Carbone Culinary Scholarship to support students entering the culinary field.

As CEO of Carbone Restaurant Group, Nasberg leads with consistency, empathy, and commitment. His story shows how curiosity, courage, and purpose can shape a meaningful career — and how big ideas, when paired with action, can create lasting change.
