Before his appointment, Craig was national sales and marketing manager of Canon New Zealand's Consumer Imaging Products Group.
In commenting on the changes Tony Wills says: "In my three years as managing director of Canon New Zealand we undertook significant restructuring that was essential if the business was to grow. I know Craig will do an outstanding job in bedding in those changes and taking the company to the next level.
"The opportunity to head up BISG in Australia for me, is one that comes with a number of exciting challenges."
Craig Manson believes Canon New Zealand is in a very strong position to move forward.
"We have great products, a great team and the right structure which is a credit to Tony. I see my role as building on the platform he has created and ensuring Canon remains at the forefront of the markets in which it operates.
"While it is disappointing to see Tony leave, his expertise will not be lost to Canon New Zealand as he will remain on the Oceania Executive Committee," says Manson.
The changes are effective from September 3.
