Dik Hoogmoed

Director of Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance

 

Prior to this, he undertook a number of roles within Toshiba, from the training of engineers to implementing business systems and holding a key role in the development of the service strategy. However, there are common threads across his career, all of which have led him to where he is today. His knowledge of the business, technology and industry, gained at grassroots level, and his remarkable skill in absorbing the minutiae of a strictly regulated market, allowing him to navigate the complex and ever-changing nature of compliance.

In addition, he is also responsible for Information Security, Environmental/ESG management systems and leads Health and Safety at Canon Medical UK. “Governance underpins organisational competence,” explains Dik. “It informs our risk management, our operational planning and our ability to learn”.

After nearly 40 years across both the UK and European Headquarters, he still sees opportunities for personal and professional growth and feels able to implement new ideas. Like his colleagues, Dik places high importance on the meaningful nature of his work and the social value of Canon Medical’s portfolio. He views everyone’s role as critical in delivering “products which help to provide essential healthcare for UK population”.

And while Dik is a familiar and respected figure at Canon Medical, he is also indispensable to his village as the chair of the committee for their annual fair and classic car show, which welcomes thousands of visitors every year.
