Kristy Lewis

Kristy is the founder of QUINN, the Louisville, Colorado-based snack company she launched in 2010 with a mission to challenge the status quo in packaged food. Starting with a desire to “fix” microwave popcorn, Kristy created a cleaner version using real ingredients and a patented microwave popcorn bag without chemical or plastic coatings. 

Through QUINN, Kristy helped push the snack category toward greater ingredient transparency, sourcing accountability and climate-friendly agriculture. Her leadership has made QUINN a standout example of the next generation of Colorado natural products brands — companies built not only to make better products, but to create meaningful change across the food system.

“Naturally Colorado represents the kind of purpose-driven leadership this industry needs — a focus on better products, better agriculture, and better business practices. My hope for the next generation of brands is that they lead with authenticity, find their own voice, and keep pushing the industry forward.
