Brittney Xu
’17
Harvard Law School
Co-Founder and CEOChompagne Co.
Brittney began her career out of HLS as a litigation attorney at the firm Paul, Weiss in New York City, focusing on antitrust and breach of contract issues. She subsequently moved to the firm Holland & Knight in Miami, where she continued to advise complex commercial enterprises, helping them negotiate with stakeholders and align business strategy with legal and regulatory requirements. After her husband somehow convinced her to acquire three Shih-Tzus, Brittney quickly realized how overwhelming and largely unregulated the pet food and supplement industry had become. All three of her dogs suffer from allergies to mainstream proteins and suffer digestive issues from many commonplace treat ingredients, making it nearly impossible to find compatible products. Determined to change that, Brittney co-founded Chompagne, a premium brand for health-conscious, discerning pet owners who want limited-ingredient and health-beneficial treats that align with their values and fast-paced lifestyle. Before Chompagne, Brittney began her pivot into consumer goods with development of an AI-powered luxury authentication app, providing advice on technology and compliance, streamlining supplier pipelines, and managing product acquisition. These experiences gave her a unique foundation for scaling operations and navigating highly regulated industries. As CEO, Brittney now leverages her expertise in strategy, planning, and cross-functional leadership to drive product development, brand growth, and market expansion. She ensures that Chompagne not only delights customers but also operates with the resilience and foresight needed to succeed in a competitive consumer market.
