Syngenta names new chief exec

Mike Mack, the current chief operating officer of Syngenta Seeds, will step up as Syngenta's chief executive officer starting Jan. 1.

According to a recent release from the Swiss agribusiness company, Mack, who is 47, is a U.S. citizen who joined Syngenta in 2002 as head of crop protection for North America out of Greensboro. He will take the helm from Michael Pragnell, the company's 60-year-old chief exec.

Pragnell will step down from his position, and from the company's board, at the end of the year.
