Steel first joined Origin Enterprises in December last year as head of commercial development. Prior to this, he held a number of senior leadership positions at Syngenta, the Swiss-based seed and agrochemical giant, where he worked for 11 years. From 2016 to 2019, Steel headed up Syngenta’s operations in Europe.
Origin is in the midst of a raft of changes at senior management level. Sean Coyle took charge as the company’s new CEO at the start of August this year, following the retirement of long-time chief executive Tom O’Mahony, who led the company for 13 years. Origin also announced the appointment of Brendan Kent as managing director of its agri-inputs division last month. The company will announce its full year financial results next week.
