Canon has named Akira ‘Dave’ Yoshida as its new managing director for Oceania following the departure of Yusuke Mizoguchi.
Mizoguchi was promoted to a new role at Canon Europe, after serving as managing director for Oceania since 2015. His new role is effective from April this year.
Yoshida is also set to start in April, working closely with Mizugochi and the rest of the senior leadership team during the transition period.
He most recently served as general manager of laser printing at Canon's headquarters in Japan, following stints in Canon’s US and Canadian businesses.
