She was recently honored with the 2017 Women of Influence Award from the Silicon Valley Business Journal.

A San Jose native, in 1991 she founded the first marketing communications consulting firm specializing in trade show program management and managed annual contracts for companies like HP, Intel, National Semiconductor and Adaptec. She was ranked in the top 5% of all female entrepreneurial income earners in the U.S. at that time.

While balancing her full time career and blended family with a toddler and three pre-teens, her lifestyle began to take its toll. She survived a serious illness, and simultaneously lost her best friend to pancreatic cancer.

Wanting to make something good out of her situation, she re-invented her life and changed careers to help lift people in her community.

As a personal goal for her own transition to a healthy lifestyle, she pioneered techniques to make changes in body composition and shed 14 pounds of fat while gaining six pounds of muscle within eight weeks. Within three months, she competed in her first natural figure competition at 48, tying for first place in the Sports Model category and taking second overall in Figure the same year.

Toni went on to create {revive} fitness for women in their 40’s through 70’s and is celebrating its 10th year. In addition to her regular membership, she fully sponsors women in this program who are financially limited and experiencing depression, divorce or other debilitating experiences in their lives so they have a supportive, nurturing and healthy experience to give them confidence, hope and encouragement.

After years of teaching people how to eat healthy, she decided to create grab and go meal solutions designed to solve the common problem of finding healthy food that is also convenient. She founded Toni’s Kitchen LLC and created the brand TONI’S High Performance Protein Meals. Toni personally touches every aspect of her healthy food business, from ordering ingredients, to blending, packaging and marketing. TONI’S is sold at specialty markets, online, and to companies throughout the U.S.

Toni offers assistance to families facing terminal illness, having helped her father for nearly five years to overcome the effects of chemo while fighting with Multiple Myeloma. He is still thriving.
