Lisa Cliff, Vice President of Sales

Lisa Cliff has been with Glory Foods since its beginning in 1992. As Glory's Vice President of Sales, Cliff is responsible for maintaining and growing Glory's presence nationally. Under her guidance, Glory Foods has grown from a local brand to a national brand leader whose products are now found in over 140 grocery retail chains and 15,000 stores across the country. She manages the company's direct sales force, as well as the efforts of the company's national food broker. Prior to joining Glory, she worked in retail management for some of the country's largest retailers, including Michigan-based chain Meijer.

Cliff believes the tradition of preparing good Southern cooking is lost through the generations. "My grandma taught my mom and my mom taught me, but I just don't have the time or energy nowadays. I believe Glory Foods gives people the same sweet memories they experienced when growing up, now in the convenience of a can. It is truly comfort food at its best."

Lisa Cliff earned her Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management from Wilberforce University.
