Kirsten Tobey: Creating a Revolution in School Food

<p>It began as a B-School class project. Our guest today is <a href="https://www.revolutionfoods.com/blog/people/kirsten-saenz-tobey/">Kirsten Saenz Tobey</a>. Kirsten co-founded <a href="https://www.revolutionfoods.com/">Revolution Foods</a> in 2006 while in graduate school at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Both she and her co-founder <a href="https://www.revolutionfoods.com/blog/people/kristin-groos-richmond/">Kristin Richmond</a> needed a project of a B-School class they were both taking. They bonded – and soared over the idea that school food could be both crave-able and healthy. Their school project became Revolution Foods, a California based B-Corp to build lifelong healthy eaters by making kid-inspired, chef-crafted food accessible to all. <br /><br />From its start in Oakland, California, Revolution Foods has gained national recognition for its innovative approach to school food. Revolution Foods, now over $100 million in revenue, serves over 1 million healthy, affordable meals per week and is the leading school food provider in California.
