Arron Mansika

Arron aligns the efforts of his professional life with the values of his personal life. He is an accomplished executive director and social entrepreneur.

Arron is the Executive Director of ReGen Brands, an unprecedented education, coalition and financing ecosystem for consumer goods brands supporting regenerative agriculture. Consisting of two nonprofits and a for-profit, Arron and two co-founders have developed the most trusted and followed resource in regenerative CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods), the first dedicated community exclusively for brands supporting regenerative agriculture and the most aligned investor community for regenerative brands.

Previously, Arron served as Executive Director of the Regional Institute for Health and Environmental Leadership (RIHEL), a nonprofit developing and connecting leaders who work collaboratively in diverse sectors to advance the health of people and the environment. Arron oversaw leadership trainings for professionals in the health, environment, public and private sectors in the Rocky Mountain region, with 1,000+ graduates. His tenure 2021-2025 stabilized the organization during multiple unprecedented public health crises.

Arron led Naturally Boulder from 2006–2021. The trade group of 1,000+ companies represented 69,000 employees pursuing a mission to nurture conscious growth, leadership and innovation in the Colorado natural products industry. He co-created Naturally Boulder in 2005, serving on the first board of directors and leading as the inaugural Executive Director. Leveraging that success, Arron co-created Naturally Network, a nationwide organization of interdependent Naturally affiliates with a mission to harness, accelerate and elevate the impact of conscious business practices in the natural and organic products ecosystem.

Arron founded and operated Boulder’s Best Organics, Inc., a pioneering internet-based gift-box company in 2006. The business was named “Colorado Success Story” by the Colorado Small Business Development Center and recognized as “Boulder Valley’s Second-Fastest Growing Company with Sales Under $2M” by BizWest Media. Arron was selected as a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He led the company through a successful acquisition in 2009.

Arron served as Managing Director of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, an activist-oriented organization rooted in the spirit of unconditional nonviolence and dedicated to radically progressive personal and social change.

Arron is the founder and lead trainer of Mindful Your Business, a professional leadership training organization. The flagship program, Awareness as Advantage, trains Self-, Interpersonal and Market Awareness to expand Emotional, Team and Systems Intelligence. With newly achieved awareness, clients are trained to adapt intelligently – ultimately aligning their intent with their impact.

The most meaningful accolade Arron received is his father-in-law’s declaration that Arron’s a darn comfort zone. He lives in Boulder, CO, with his gorgeous (and word-smithing) wife and their talented, charismatic son.
