Karis Gutter, a former USDA deputy undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services (FFAS), will join DuPont as its government affairs manager, the company announced today. In his new post, Gutter will focus on agricultural and nutrition businesses, the biotech and chemicals giant said in a release. Before serving as deputy undersecretary for FFAS in the Obama administration, Gutter was the senior advisor to the secretary of agriculture and the deputy administrator of field operations for USDA’s Farm Service Agency. A Marine Corps Reserve veteran, he was also appointed as USDA’s first Military Veterans Agricultural Liaison, a position created by the 2014 Farm Bill, to connect returning veterans with agricultural programs and advocate on behalf of veterans and veterans support organizations. Gutter also worked on Capitol Hill as staff for the House Committee on Homeland Security, and as deputy chief of staff and legislative director for Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi.
