The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® congratulates Eliott Peck, executive vice president and general manager, imaging technologies and communications group, Canon U.S.A., on his successful career and pending retirement at the end of March. The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA:

“Eliott Peck is a true visionary. He helped lead a globally known company and served with alacrity many terms as a volunteer leader for our industry.

“At Canon, Eliott recognized the value of major global brands partnering with and learning from nimble startups and entrepreneurs – an opportunity he felt his company should seize. So, at CES® 2018, he emphasized a ‘visionaries welcome’ theme in the company’s booth – encouraging conversations with startups about innovative ways to collaborate with Canon. His company’s executives from Japan were thrilled with his idea.”

“Eliott gave selflessly to our industry, serving as a member of CTA’s Executive Board and Board of Industry Leaders and chairman and vice chairman of the Division Executive Board and Digital Imaging Division. All of us at CTA congratulate Eliott on such a successful career and share our gratitude for his service and support.”
