Greenberg Traurig Adds Former USDA Senior Advisor Campbell Genn to Government Law & Policy Practice

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues the strategic growth of its Government Law & Policy Practice in the firm's Washington, D.C., office with the addition of former U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Senior Advisor Campbell Genn as a Senior Director. She joins the firm with significant experience as a trusted advisor to government leaders, CEOs, and government affairs professionals on food, nutrition, trade, and agricultural policy issues across the full farm-to-fork supply chain.

Genn previously served as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the USDA, where she counseled Cabinet leadership on national nutrition policy, supply-chain resilience, and food safety, and led advocacy efforts for food industry trade associations, giving her insight into the regulatory and legislative landscape across the federal government. Her experience working with Congress, the USDA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and key regulatory bodies gives her deep credibility with policymakers throughout Washington. Combined with her understanding of the domestic and international issues relating to food, nutrition, trade, and agricultural products, Genn is well positioned to help clients navigate and shape policies affecting their ability to produce safe, affordable, and nutritious food.

"The caliber of talent joining our Washington, D.C., office speaks to the established strength of our platform and the momentum we continue to build," said Tonya M. Esposito, Administrative Shareholder of the Washington, D.C., office. "Drawing on our integrated platform of regulatory, government policy, transactional, and litigation professionals, we have assembled a premier team that helps clients navigate and succeed in an increasingly complex federal policy and regulatory environment."

"We have been strategically enhancing our Government Law & Policy capabilities in Washington, D.C., and Campbell is an exceptional addition to that effort," said Christopher DeLacy, Co-Chair of the Federal Government Law & Policy Practice. "Her unique combination of experience advising federal policymakers and leading advocacy initiatives for major industry organizations expands our ability to serve clients across the full spectrum of issues affecting the food, nutrition, and agricultural sectors."

Prior to joining Greenberg Traurig, Genn served as Senior Director of Government Relations for the American Bakers Association, leading advocacy for the association's member companies, and was the Senior Director of Nutrition Policy for the Sugar Association, advocating for the nation's sugar growers, processors, and refiners.

That experience allows Genn to bring her strategic, business-minded insights to clients across a broad spectrum of emerging issues, including federal nutrition programs (SNAP, WIC, and school meals); USDA and FDA labeling initiatives; the administration's proposed definition of "ultra-processed foods"; food safety regulations; the Farm Bill; agricultural trade; and the importance of establishing science-based policies for food and nutrition.

"Joining Greenberg Traurig provides a global platform with a deep bipartisan bench to leverage my experience in Washington and empower clients to shape emerging regulations and legislation into workable and science-based strategies," Genn said. "There are many critical issues facing the food and beverage industries, and businesses need to ensure regulatory proposals and legislation are grounded in operational reality. Greenberg Traurig's platform allows me to help those clients anticipate political and regulatory changes and shape policy."

Genn is not admitted to the practice of law.
