Hi Sydney,
Thanks again for your help. This is a brief high-level introduction to the new CEO. Erik would like to provide Administrator Pruitt with an overview of the vision of Syngenta. With its size, scope and global role in agriculture and biodiversity, Eric would like to discuss some of the new innovative products and seed treatments that are tools for the American farmer.
Should it be useful to you and Administrator Pruitt, we are providing some brief background below.
Background on Syngenta and Erik Fyrwald, CEO
Syngenta is one of the world's largest providers of products to help farmers achieve sustainable crop and food security. Syngenta operates in 90 countries with nearly 30,000 employees and generates nearly $13 B in annual sales. Erik Fyrwald is the CEO of Syngenta, a position he has held since June 1, 2016.

Hi Sydney, Thank you for your email. To answer your question, Mr. Fyrwald is coming from Basel, Switzerland and therefore is not in the DC area very much. Do you think there would be any way to squeeze in even a brief meeting with Administrator Pruitt on either Monday or Tuesday? Sarah
