Nutrien Ltd. has named Chris Reynolds as executive vice president, global sales, a role created to unify leadership across the wholesale and retail sales organizations and strengthen how the business delivers value to customers worldwide. The appointment comes after a planned leadership transition as Jeff Tarsi, who has led Nutrien’s global retail business through a period of significant growth and transformation, steps into an advisory role.

“Chris’ experience, vision and leadership will guide our global sales organization through its next phase of growth,” said Ken Seitz, president and CEO of Nutrien Ltd. “His track record of delivering results across our international operations makes him the right leader to deliver greater value for our customers worldwide, strengthen our teams, capture efficiency and enhance our execution.”
In his new role, Reynolds will align sales enablement across Nutrien’s wholesale and retail businesses, leveraging shared capabilities, network infrastructure and commercial planning while keeping respective sales teams focused on their unique customers. This approach amplifies the impact of proprietary products growth, market and agronomic insights, and translates operational scale into measurable value for customers and partners.
Reynolds has more than 25 years of experience in the global fertilizer industry, including 22 years at Nutrien, where he has held senior leadership roles across domestic and international sales, supply chain, potash operations and commercial functions. Most recently, he served as executive vice president and chief commercial officer for the company. He has also held leadership roles with the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) and The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) and currently serves on the Board of Canpotex Limited.
Reynolds’ appointment comes after Jeff Tarsi’s decision to step back from his role as executive vice president and president of global retail at the end of 2025. Tarsi will continue supporting Nutrien in an advisory capacity, providing guidance on downstream strategy.
