Nancy Slotnick is a dynamic business development leader, entrepreneur, and hospitality sales executive who builds bridges between people, food, and technology. A Harvard-educated social anthropologist, Nancy has blended her passion for meaningful connection with a track record of success in the B2B food-at-work and corporate food-tech space.
Early in her career, Nancy started Drip Coffee Bar, a café/bar with a built-in social connection service, which she ran for 8 years. From there, Nancy shifted her focus to bring that same relational and operational instinct to Business Development in the F&B and hospitality space.
As the founder of Breaking Bread Hospitality, Nancy created an initiative aimed at reimagining corporate dining through community and connection. Her vision: to make food not just a transactional service, but a way to deepen workplace relationships, nurture wellness, and support sustainable growth for corporate culture. Through this initiative, she leveraged her deep industry connections and her executive coaching background to design culinary programs that are both emotionally resonant and commercially impactful.
In her most recent role, Nancy was Director of Sales at Aniai, where she led national sales of kitchen robotics solutions to the fast-casual restaurant industry in the U.S. She played a pivotal role in bringing the Aniai’s Robotic Burger Grill to market, building a CRM of over 2,000 leads, and closing enterprise-level deals via proactive outreach and deeply consultative engagements.
Earlier, as Director of Sales at The Flavor Group, Nancy oversaw B2B culinary program sales to global workplace clients, closing contracts with Fortune 500 companies like Samsung, Chevron, and Geico.
Nancy’s tech stack toolkit includes POS systems integration such as Toast, Square, Olo, Chownow, GrubHub, Doordash and EZCater, as well as hardware and SaaS kiosk solutions and Starship delivery systems. She also leverages technology to create data-driven pipelines and robust account strategies.
Nancy also worked as a Strategic Business Development Consultant, where she owned full-cycle sales and account management, and she helped food-tech SMBs architect recurring-revenue models and implement hospitality design and management practices. Simultaneously, during the pandemic era from 2020-2023, she founded and ran the Fire Island Farmers Market, delivering organic produce to her community and scaling customer outreach in the tri-state area.
At FOODA for four years, Nancy generated US $4 million in ARR, where she transformed lunch-program sales through recurring-revenue strategies and account management best practices.
Nancy’s voice goes beyond business development. She’s the author of Turn Your Cablight On (Penguin), a quirky dating guide rooted in her executive coaching work and media visibility. Her expertise has been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, The New York Times, Interior Design, Cosmopolitan, and more.
Rooted in empathy, curiosity, and grit, Nancy’s leadership style bridges passion with performance. Whether she’s helping a startup scale or designing a culinary program, she brings her love of meaningful connection, and her knack for building things people care about, to every project.
We are delighted to welcome Nancy to the team and looking forward to continuing to build meaningful and impactful connections in the away from home markets - Simon Elliot, Managing Partner, 4xi Global.
