Corazonas Foods Spins Out from Brand New Brands
Corazonas Foods, Inc., Mill Valley, CA, has “spun out” from Brand New Brands, Inc. This significant milestone for the entrepreneurial venture comes less than six months after the successful launch of its debut product, Corazonas heart-healthy tortilla chips—the first snack chips clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol by up to 15%. The company has also appointed Charles Lynch to chair of the board of Corazonas Foods. Mr. Lynch is also chairman of the board of Market Value Partners Company, a management mentor and advisor resource for existing and emerging businesses, and nSpired Natural Foods. Additionally, Edward Marra has joined Corazonas Foods’ board of directors. Mr. Marra most recently served as executive vice president at Nestlé S.A., where he was responsible for strategy, innovation and renovation for all Nestlé categories worldwide. In addition to being added to the board of directors of Corazonas Foods, Mr. Marra is currently a board member of Beverage Partners Worldwide, the Nestlé/Coca-Cola joint venture.
