Jeff Nawn

Advisor

Jeff’s interest in agricultural trade and development started during a two-year stint as an agribusiness volunteer in the Republic of Moldova with the Peace Corps. Later, he served the U.S. government as the Agricultural Attaché in Mexico, where he assisted with the implementation of NAFTA, and as Senior Agricultural Attaché in Tokyo, Japan, where he helped renegotiate market access for U.S. beef. Prior to founding The North Hill Group in 2018, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in global market access, government and regulatory affairs for the food and agricultural sectors, Jeff spent several years leading international regulatory affairs at Corteva, facilitating biotech trait approvals in key markets around the world.
