Having Bill join the Canon team was a huge win right from the outset. The value Bill delivered consistently in providing leadership and guidance to his team, insight into internal and external marketing, branding and culture set a new cohesive direction for Canon. Bill has very strong family and collaborative values which are invaluable to team work; he has a genuine interest in people. With a focussed and positive attitude, great things happen. Bill’s mix of experience and skills from both an FMCG channel background and B2B with TelstraClear and now Canon are very beneficial, yet quite unusual to find, but his biggest strength is leading a team – to work together, enjoying what they do and who they do it with everyday, regardless of the pressure or tediousness of the tasks.
