Dscoop's Eric Hawkinson Resigns As Executive Director, Joins Canon

Eric Hawkinson Joins Canon Solutions America

Eric Hawkinson’s resignation from SmithBucklin, the company that manages Dscoop, does not mean that he will be leaving the graphic arts industry. Francis McMahon, vice president of marketing for Canon Solutions America (CSA), has confirmed that Hawkinson will be joining CSA effective April 1 as director of marketing for production printing.

According to McMahon, Hawkinson’s appointment fits perfectly with Canon’s strategy to further develop programs that help its client base become more successful, as well as to create more intimate relationships that transcend beyond basic supplier/customer engagement. As such, Hawkinson will play an important role as CSA broadens its production printing customer interaction, including the evolution toward more hosted special events and a users’ group.

Hawkinson, married with two small children, is currently relocating from the Chicago area to Boca Raton, FL. Hawkinson seems to have everything going his way. He reportedly sold his house just two days after it was listed.
