In memory: Jeff Fox

October 3, 2007

Poet Energy Inc. Vice President of Legal and Government Affairs Jeff Fox passed away Aug. 1 at age 51. Fox joined Broin Companies in 2001, where his executive role involved managing the company's government relations and legal activities. Bob Scott, president of the American Coalition for Ethanol in Sioux Falls, S.D., said Fox had an "uncanny ability to bring people together." Before joining Broin Companies, Fox spent six years as prosecutor in Lincoln County, S.D. He also spent three years as chief legal counselor to the South Dakota governor. Those who knew him said Fox was a talented lobbyist. "[He] was one of the first people that I got to know when I moved to South Dakota 20 years ago," said Poet CEO Jeff Broin after Fox's death. "He's been invaluable to this company, this industry and the state of South Dakota. More importantly, he was a great friend and a fantastic person. This is a tremendous loss to his family, this community, our company and the ethanol industry as a whole."
