Nadine Jones

Nadine Jones Executive Bio

Nadine’s 20+ years legal career includes serving as SVP General Counsel & Corporate Secretary for a multibillion logistics company, and spans global trade controls, antitrust regulation, contract negotiation, M&A, corporate compliance, and labor & employment—areas where she not only brings deep subject-matter knowledge but also the operational instincts to embed legal strategy into day-to-day execution. She has led cross-border legal operations, built compliance programs from the ground up, advised on mergers and acquisitions, and helped organizations navigate emerging regulatory shifts.

As a graduate of Howard University School of Law, Nadine also has a strong sense of social justice and equity. In June 2020, she co-founded along with two other Howard Law alumni an organization called The Initiative: Advancing the Blue & Black Partnership (“The Initiative”). The Initiative was established to end systemic police violence and implement a collaborative approach to building healthy, scalable, community policing models.  Nadine was awarded the National Legal Aid & Defender Association’s 2023 Exemplar Award for her work with The Initiative.

Although Nadine returned to the corporate world after her position as Executive Director at the Initiative ended in 2021, she always remained connected to the policing world through her board position with Law Enforcement Active Partnership and MILO’s Cognitive Advisory Board.

Whether in the corporate for-profit space, or in the nonprofit policing and community space, Nadine’s leadership style remains consistent rooted in pragmatism and implementable, workable, and scalable solutions.
