Brandon Leander, Head of IT & Digital for Syngenta’s Vegetables business, is leading a transformative journey to embed agentic AI into global supply chain operations. With strong executive backing and a clear business mandate to reduce costs while growing revenue, Brandon’s team is pioneering AI-driven efficiencies across planning, production, and decision-making. In this session, he’ll share how Syngenta is turning AI from buzzword to business value.

Key Topics Include:

• Examining how Syngenta’s C-suite is mandating AI adoption, with a clear directive to identify high-value opportunities that support a 10% cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) reduction over five years while growing revenue by 10–15%.
• Identifying Agentic AI use cases across demand confirmation automation, dynamic production planning, and crop planning optimization—each designed to deliver measurable business impact.
• Mapping AI tools to specific personas—business planners, crop strategists, and supply planners—to enhance decision-making and reduce manual workload through intelligent agent companions.
• Addressing workforce concerns around AI adoption, and building knowledge graphs to preserve decades of institutional expertise and accelerate onboarding and decision-making.
