Syngenta Management Announcement
July 05 2017 - 1:00AM
Business Wire
Syngenta recently reaffirmed its goal of strengthening its
leading position in Crop Protection and becoming an ambitious
number three in Seeds. In order to drive achievement of this goal,
the company will bring together the leadership of the Research
& Development and Production & Supply functions within the
Crop Protection business, led by Jon Parr, and the Seeds business,
led by Jeff Rowe.
As a consequence, two members of the Syngenta Executive
Committee – Trish Malarkey, Head of R&D and Mark
Peacock, Head of Global Operations – will leave Syngenta at the
end of September 2017.
Trish joined Syngenta 19 years ago and has been a member of the
Executive Committee since 2014. Prior to her current role, Trish
held a number of senior scientific roles in Crop Protection, Seeds
and Biotechnology. Most recently, Trish has led the R&D
organization through a significant transformation, resulting in an
R&D function that is the most productive in the industry with a
pipeline that will deliver value for the company for many years to
come.
Mark has worked at Syngenta and its legacy companies for 34
years since joining as a graduate chemical engineer. Over the past
ten years that Mark has been a member of the Executive Committee,
he has led a number of functions globally, including Production
& Supply, Information Services and HSE. In these roles he has
led the continuous delivery of significant improvements in
productivity and has played a key role in shaping our company
culture.
Erik Fyrwald, CEO, said: “I want to warmly thank Trish and Mark
for their outstanding contributions to Syngenta during their
distinguished careers here. I wish them both every success in the
future.”
