After a stellar 40+ year career working with premier contract managed service companies, Tony Benedia brings his experience from a diverse range of lines of business, including K-12 to the 4xi team.
Tony has extensive knowledge and success partnering with clients, understanding their unique strategic needs, and developing solutions that exceed expectations. Tony and his teams have been recognized and received numerous awards for innovation, operational excellence, client retention, new sales growth, and team development.
Before a short retirement, Tony led a team over the last decade that delivered exceptional results in the K-12 environment. His team experienced outstanding retention, organic growth, and new school district partnerships. Tony delivered increased profitability through investment strategies that maximized student participation and engagement, enhanced client returns, and improved value for all stakeholders.
Tony championed many K-12 initiatives within the public and charter school areas including waste reduction and sustainability, student advocacy groups, Governing Board communication, and parental involvement while providing recommendations that assisted clients with strategic plans as a trusted advisor.
Tony’s culinary background was an asset to the K-12 segment by ensuring that Executive Chefs were added to the school districts to reengineer USDA-compliant recipes, supply chain negotiations, unique packaging, and innovative menus based on student involvement and demographics. Taking a retail approach to school food programs Tony grew participation dramatically, including many of the non-users.
In addition to enhancing the food service program, Tony partnered with many Superintendents and School District Administrators to help support key areas such as teacher retention, speed of service tracking, customer service training, community engagement, investment strategies, and Facility Services solutions such as testing air quality, evaluating lighting and room temperature which assists with student performance and reduced absenteeism.
"We're delighted to welcome Tony to the 4xi family - we believe that the K-12 market is an opportunity for us to build upon our experience-first focus and elevate the K-12 dining experience for students, parents, and schools alike." - Simon Elliot, Managing Partner, 4xi
