Syngenta Canada has named Steve Gomme as Head of Key Accounts, Crop Protection. In this role, he will lead the national account management team, drive channel strategy, and deliver best-in-class service to retail customers.
"Steve is a natural leader who will bring strong dynamics to our Sales Leadership Team," says David Hoar, Head of Sales, Crop Protection. "His strategic mindset, commitment to continuous improvement, and ability to lead through change will help us deliver even greater value to our strategic partners."
Steve brings 18 years of Syngenta experience to this role. His career began in Eastern Canada focusing on potato and horticulture markets before expanding as Customer Marketing Manager. He spent a decade in the U.S. leading the portfolio strategy for specialty crops as well as the AgriEdge® team, gaining valuable experience in digital agriculture strategy. He also served as Product Lead for both Seedcare™ and the corn herbicide portfolios.
Upon his return to Canada in 2021, Steve contributed significantly to our sales strategy, with a clear focus on customers, people, and sales enablement, most recently serving as an Account Manager.
"I'm excited to lead our national account management team and work alongside our key accounts to help them win in the market," says Steve. "My diverse experience across Syngenta has positioned me well for this role. I'm passionate about developing people and building strategic partnerships that create long-term value and drive outcomes for our customers and our business."
