Todd Loecke

Syngenta announces the establishment of a new position — head of key accounts.

This role will help Syngenta “strengthen its commitment to the turf, ornamental and pest management industries to best serve customers and distributor partners with their agronomic needs,” according to the news release.

Todd Loecke was appointed to the newly created role of head of key accounts. He will manage six key account managers across the turf, ornamental, pest management and consumer businesses.

After graduating from Iowa State University with a bachelor of science in agricultural studies, Loecke started his career in 1991 with a Syngenta legacy company as a crop protection territory manager. He began supporting Syngenta Professional Solutions in 1998 as a territory manager. In 2007, Loecke became the Midwest district sales manager for turf and ornamentals, a position he held until he began his new role this year.

“For over 15 years, Todd has demonstrated his leadership skills and passion for our industry. His experience and excellent communication skills have gained the respect of his team, our customers and industry partners,” said Dave Ravel, head of sales for Syngenta Professional Solutions. “With his guidance, I am excited to see our key accounts team flourish and further provide the value and support our customers expect.”
