Two new executives have been appointed by Canon’s Philippines-based subsidiary as part of an aggressive new business strategy.
The Manila Bulletin reports that Canon Marketing (Philippines) has announced the appointment of two new executives as part of its “aggressive pursuit to solidify its business in imaging and printing solutions”.
Kazuhiro Ozawa will be taking the helm as the company’s new President and CEO, replacing Lim Kok Hin, who retired after 35 years of service.
The new 53-year-old CEO has already worked for Canon for 28 years and has gained a range of market experience in different regions of the globe, with his most recent role being held at the company’s Singapore subsidiary.
Ozawa “has set his sights on sharing the advancements in Canon technologies that will drive the company’s business performance to greater heights.”
“The Philippine market has a lot of potential. We know Filipinos are enthusiastic photo-takers and are talented enough to fuel their passions, such as photography and videography, and turn them into something profitable.”
The other new appointment is that of new Vice President, Anuj Aggarwal, who will be in charge of the company’s corporate and finance divisions and transitions from his previous role as the Vice President and CFO of Canon India Private Limited. Aggarwal is another industry veteran, with 20 years of experience in finance, and has previously been dubbed “One of India’s Greatest CFOs”, an accolade awarded by India’s Greatest.com.
