Jim Mills

As CEO of MM Local, Jim oversees the company’s vision, culture and brand growth. Prior to starting MM Local, Jim worked in the technology and brand consulting sectors – where he oversaw brand strategy and consumer insights for a variety of start-up and Fortune 500 companies.

For Jim, MM Local is a culmination of his enthusiasm for knowing where delicious food comes from and being part of a passionate team that works hard every day to build a better food system. He is excited to lead a company where success is defined as the ability to make honest, delicious food and connect more people to the heroes of sustainable local and regional food systems – organic family farmers. MM Local partners directly with organic family farms to preserve the best of their harvests. Their products include Certified Organic probiotic krauts and kimchis, small batch pickles, single varietal applesauces and seasonal release items that are sold in local and regional grocery stores. Every MM Local product is traced back to the organic family farmer who grew what’s inside.

Jim lives in Denver, Colorado and enjoys spending time gardening, cooking and seeking adventure in the Colorado outdoors with his wife and three daughters.
