Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama nominated DuPont attorney Ramona Romero to serve as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As part of the nomination process, Ramona would need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate including participation in a confirmation hearing.
In her current role at DuPont, Ramona provides legal oversight for the acquisition of transportation, distribution, supply-chain management, travel and energy resources, and manages related strategic litigation. Since 2008, Ramona has also served as General Counsel of Sentinel Transportation LLC, a DuPont joint venture.
Throughout her legal career, Ramona has been a leader in advancing the interests of minorities and women, helping to set up and run several programs for DuPont and its partner law firms, as well as at the Hispanic National Bar Association, where she served as president in 2008 and 2009. Ramona also has received many distinguished honors, including Hispanic Business Magazine’s recognition in 2007 as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the U.S.
“We congratulate Ramona on her nomination by President Barack Obama to serve as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pending U.S. Senate confirmation," said Tom Sager, DuPont senior vice president and general counsel.
"Ramona is a distinguished lawyer who has been a leader, innovator and pioneer, earning the recognition and respect of her peers throughout the legal community,” Tom said. “As a former president of the Hispanic National Bar Association, Ramona has been a true champion in promoting and advancing diversity within the legal profession. Ramona is a committed and experienced leader who raises the energy and intensity level of people around her because of her passion, razor-sharp legal mind and common-sense attitude.
“Once confirmed, Ramona would serve the American people with the highest degree of ethical standards, distinction and integrity,” Tom said.
