Syngenta Subsidiary Names New President

Syngenta Professional Products named Keelan Pulliam as president of Conrad Fafard, effective Jan. 1. Pulliam will succeed Fafard president Andy Fafard, who is retiring. In his new role, Pulliam will oversee the continued alignment of Conrad Fafard and Syngenta Professional Products, and the ongoing growth and expansion of Fafard throughout North America. Syngenta purchased Conrad Fafard, a manufacturer of packaged growing media for professional ornamental growers and consumer retail outlets earlier this year.

“I am honored to be named president of Conrad Fafard Inc.,” Pulliam says. “The leadership and vision of Andy Fafard, and the resources and synergies available as a subsidiary of Syngenta, give Fafard a solid foundation for future expansion, and I look forward to leading Fafard through this exciting period of growth and change.” Pulliam has worked for Syngenta or its legacy companies for more than 26 years and has held numerous positions, including product manager, district and regional sales manager, national sales director and team leader for corporate accounts. His successor as leader of the lawn and garden business unit will be named at a later date.
