Joelle Chizmar
VP, Communications & Interactive Services
As an editor, writer, dabbler in design and avid eater, Joelle spends much of her time uncovering new ways to deliver food culture insights for business and consumers. With the Hartman Group for over 10 years, she can often be found roaming our offices with red pen in hand ready to give unsolicited editorial suggestions. When not pushing pixels around or posting items on HartmanSalt, Joelle spends many evenings on the couch with her husband, each with their respective computers emailing each other.

Melissa Abbott
Director, Culinary Trends
Melissa has been fascinated with food culture since saving up for an Easy-Bake Oven at five years old, later making this a career by becoming a natural foods chef in the US and abroad and now the voice of HartmanSalt. Having written extensively on the subject of tasty indulgent eats as well as progressive health and wellness topics, Melissa looks to consumer culture for discovering meaningful trends, rather than the latest food fads. When not roving the aisles of grocery stores and chatting up producers at farmer’s markets, Melissa can be found fermenting delightful things for eating and drinking with her crafty husband, searching for restaurants/chefs that inspire, and scouring the Internet for new and noteworthy (and not so noteworthy) products.

Jarrett Paschel, Ph.D.
VP, Strategy and Innovation
Jarrett was immersed in the study (and consumption) of food and wine for nearly 20 years (that’s enough to qualify for a pension in the military!). Along the way he has written about these subjects as a restaurant critic, food and wine writer, wine educator and cultural theorist. He’s not afraid to defend humanity from the Slow Food Movement or, for that matter, anyone else who tries to make eating into a game or an ethos. Food is food. Wine is wine. Enjoy. Bottom line.
