It\u2019s a great privilege to have the opportunity to lead the CME team and I come into this role with a commitment&nbsp;and promise that we will continue&nbsp;to reimagine&nbsp;our business&nbsp;in ways that&nbsp;will always,&nbsp;best serve our customers,\u201d said&nbsp;Venkatasubramanian (Subbu) Hariharan, Managing Director&nbsp;of&nbsp;Canon Middle East and Turkey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outgoing Managing Director of Canon, Anurag Agrawal commented, \u201cAfter two decades at Canon, the decision to retire was not easy, but I wanted to spend more time with&nbsp;my&nbsp;family, and thus will be moving back to Canada. It has been an honor to see the growth and impact that we have had, from a small representative\u2019s office on Sheikh Zayed road to becoming a&nbsp;leading&nbsp;player in the Middle East. I have no doubt that under Subbu\u2019s leadership, Canon will go from strength to strength and he will craft a new path that will ensure a smooth post-Pandemic recovery and underscore our&nbsp;long-term&nbsp;customer-focused agenda.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agrawal has been&nbsp;Managing Director&nbsp;since 2010 and was instrumental in&nbsp;setting&nbsp;the roadmap for CME\u2019s success within the GCC.&nbsp;He is credited with laying a solid business foundation and implementing key management practices that&nbsp;have&nbsp;paved the way for CME to move into the next phase of its development, including a direct presence in key markets and achieving closer customer engagement and retention. His unique blend of experience, sound judgment, and strong ability to construct creative solutions has been a driving factor in cultivating a lasting
