Washington, D.C. -- The Animal Health Institute (AHI) continues to grow its team to meet the evolving needs of its member companies and support innovations that keep animals healthy, welcoming Andrew Bailey as its new vice president of Government Affairs and Public Policy. He brings extensive experience working with Congress, federal agencies, and industry leaders on issues spanning animal health, food safety, and agricultural policy.
In his new role, Bailey will support AHI's work to advance policies that help veterinarians, farmers, ranchers, and pet owners access the medicines needed to keep animals healthy. He joins AHI effective Nov. 16.
"Andrew understands how decisions in Washington affect the people and companies working every day to protect animal health," said Dr. Marie Bucko, AHI chief operating officer and interim CEO. "His experience across agriculture, food safety, and regulatory policy will be a tremendous asset to our members as we work to support innovation and address emerging animal health challenges."
Bailey most recently served as a consultant, advising trade associations on government relations, regulatory affairs, and public policy. Previously, he was senior director of policy and regulatory affairs at Conagra Brands, where he led policy engagement on food safety, supply chain, and production issues. Earlier, he held positions at the National Pork Producers Council, the National Turkey Federation, and the law firm Siff & Associates.
"I'm thrilled to be joining AHI at such a critical time for our sector," said Bailey. "I look forward to working with our members and policymakers to advance practical, science-based policies that support healthier animals and continued innovation."
Bailey earned his Juris Doctor from George Washington University Law School and bachelor's degrees in international business and Spanish from Mississippi State University.
