Multiple independent sources confirm that Courtney Knupp was director of global supply chain at the National Security Council before becoming CEO of the United Soybean Board, which she began on October 1, 2026. The post's wording ('staffer') is a looser label for her NSC director role and does not change the core claim, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage.
What we found
Supports. USB's July 2026 announcement and trade press report that Knupp was currently director of global supply chain at the National Security Council and was named incoming CEO of the United Soybean Board.[1][2][3]
Supports. A PRNewswire release dated October 1, 2026 reports that Knupp officially began as USB CEO, after most recently serving at the National Security Council.[4]
Supports. Knupp's LinkedIn profile lists her as Director, Global Supply Chain at the National Security Council (September 2025 to September 2026) followed by CEO of United Soybean Board from September 2026.[5]
Supports. A October 2026 local report and a November 2026 DTN article both describe her as a former National Security Council director who is now USB CEO.[6][7]
Context. Sources differ slightly on when her NSC role ended (LinkedIn says September 2026; DTN says she announced her departure in June 2026), but this timing detail does not affect the claimed sequence of NSC service followed by the CEO role.[5][7]
