Humm joined the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) in September 2019 as the Director of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs and most recently served as the Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs. During his tenure at GOED, Humm served as the agency’s point person in the Nevada Legislature, where he successfully passed several economic development related bills and contributed to the approval and signage of several others.
“I am humbled and honored to be appointed by Governor Lombardo to serve in this role,” said Jimmy Humm, Executive Director of the Cannabis Compliance Board. “I look forward to joining the incredible team at the Cannabis Compliance Board and executing the Governor’s agenda to ethically regulate this burgeoning industry.”
Prior to joining GOED, Humm served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and Legislative Liaison for the Office of the Nevada Attorney General. Before joining the Office of the Nevada Attorney General, Humm spent eight years at three Las Vegas law firms rising to the level of Director of Operations, the highest administrative position at his final two stops. Humm holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of San Diego.
