Prior to joining the OIG, Genie served in various positions at the US Attorney’s Office for 22 years, most recently as the Deputy Chief of the Public Corruption and Special Prosecutions Unit. She is also an adjunct professor at Boston College Law School.
As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Genie investigated and prosecuted public corruption cases, including Big Dig contractors who overbilled the government, an extortion case involving a law enforcement official, and a major disability fraud investigation. Her experience will greatly enhance the OIG’s mission-driven work. Not only did her efforts hold the perpetrators accountable but also resulted in much needed reforms in public agencies, which, in the long run, helps to considerably reduce waste, fraud and abuse.
Early in her career, she clerked for The Honorable Mark L. Wolf of the United States District Court in Massachusetts. She spent several years in private practice at a large Boston firm. She has extensive civil and criminal litigation and trial experience, having also worked as a Special Assistant District Attorney and for the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office.
She received her bachelor’s degree with honors from Harvard University and her J.D. Boston College Law School.
