Ian Watson

Director, Commercial Solutions

 

He began his career as a computer engineer in the service environment, and it is these technical skills which have been the foundation of his ability to work so effectively with customers, scoping, designing and delivering highly complex medical solutions.

Ian joined Canon Medical Systems UK in 2013, and within three years had stepped into the role of leading the Commercial Solutions Business. Today, he continues to guide this team as they dive deep into every problem and think laterally about the ways in which they can best support our customers and clinicians. Together they fulfil a huge breadth of requirements – from mobile and relocatable interim systems to entire modular buildings, fully equipped with both Canon Medical and third-party products.

But his work here is far more than just a job. “It’s personal,” Ian admits. “It’s an environment where we are helping to save lives, and that’s extremely rewarding. I feel proud to be a part of it.” In this regard, and so many others, he completely understands why he has so many colleagues who joined Canon Medical and stayed, just as he has. “I love working here. It’s a great team of people at all levels.”

Ian’s inner engineer is ever-present, even when he is not at work, and his passion for cars and driving is well known amongst friends and colleagues. And while he doesn’t spend quite so much time tinkering under bonnets these days, he relishes every opportunity to get behind the wheel or watch Formula One.
