GREENSBORO, N.C., Oct. 9, 2025 — Syngenta Crop Protection is proud to announce that Brian Reeve, senior regulatory counsel, received the prestigious CropLife America (CLA) Pillar Award at the organization’s 2025 Annual Meeting.
“Syngenta is incredibly proud and appreciative of Brian’s well-deserved recognition with the CropLife America Pillar Award,” said Marc Trigilio, head of legal for Syngenta. “Brian is always at the forefront of emerging issues across our industry and regularly collaborates with his peers and fellow CLA members on potential solutions for the benefit of all.”
With a distinguished 32-year tenure at Syngenta, including 15 years of active involvement with CLA, Brian has been instrumental in shaping regulatory policy and fostering strong relationships between industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies. He has served on several key CLA committees, including the Making America Healthy Again Task Force, the FIFRA Improvement Task Force, and most notably as Chairperson of the CLA Law Committee.
Brian’s leadership has been pivotal in developing collaborative strategies to address emerging regulatory challenges in the crop protection industry. His efforts have helped navigate legal complexities that could hinder growers’ access to essential crop solutions. Through his work with cross-functional teams and industry peers, Brian has consistently championed science-based approaches and advocated for policies that benefit the broader agricultural community.
“This recognition is truly humbling and represents far more than individual achievement,” said Brian. “It reflects the collaborative spirit of our industry and the meaningful impact we strive to create through CLA. While legal expertise is immensely important, this award acknowledges our broader contributions in addressing industry-wide challenges and advancing solutions that benefit the entire agricultural community—for which I am deeply appreciative.”
A longstanding tradition since the 1960s, the CropLife America Pillar Award honors individuals who exemplify leadership, collaboration, and enduring commitment to CLA’s mission of supporting growers and pesticide users in protecting crops, homes, and communities.
