LISA NEWMANN is the founder and President of Over The Top Food Company and the most ardent supporter of its brands —

COOKIEHEAD, GRAINS-ON-THE-GO, WAKE UP JAVA, THE BIG OMEGA AND FLAX SNAX.

Lisa has enjoyed a long and illustrious career in the bakery industry. She began in Boston with a chain of cookie retail outlets called Sensational Cookies; she was a key driver in the growth of Ms. Desserts, a Baltimore-based cake company, and she has received the Award of Product Excellence from Julia Child and the American Institute of Wine and Food.

Lisa passionately believes in real food — and that snacks, eaten most frequently and innocently by our hurried, American public, should be a source of nutritional balance and memorable taste.

There is a growing interest in real food — thanks to one of Lisa's heroes, Michael Pollan. Lisa Newmann is a champion of this cause.
