GREENSBORO, N.C., USA, Jan. 6, 2022 – Syngenta is excited to announce the appointment of Angela Guinn as the ornamental territory manager for California and Brett Konjoian as the territory manager for the Northeast. In these roles, Guinn and Konjoian will assist nursery and greenhouse growers as well as distribution partners with developing effective ornamental plant protection strategies.

He received a Bachelor of Science in turfgrass science from Pennsylvania State University and held previous roles as an assistant superintendent at various golf courses in Pennsylvania. For the past six years, Konjoian served as a parks department manager where he led a team of nine full-time and seasonal employees.
