Julie Verratti, one of the co-owners of Silver Spring, Maryland-based Denizens Brewing Company, is joining President Joe Biden’s administration.
Verratti has been hired by the Small Business Administration to serve as the associate administrator of field operations.
WTOP’s news partner Maryland Matters reported on Verratti’s new post Friday.
Verratti, who has been in business with two other partners at Denizens for seven years, is familiar with running a business. She also knows the SBA, having worked there before launching breweries and taprooms in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland.
Verratti said she knows small business owners see government as the cause of, not the solution to, many of their problems. She grew to have that feeling herself while operating Denizens.
