NEW GM OF
ZEISS CANADA VISION CARE
DISCUSSES FUTURE
By Denis Langlois
There's a new person at the helm of Carl Zeiss Canada's Vision Care division.
Bryan Rossi, who had been with Carl Zeiss Vision US for more than 15 years, has taken
over as general manager from the company's long-time Canadian president
John Dillon, who has retired.
Mr. Rossi began his career with Carl Zeiss Vision US as the company's regional man-
ager in the ECP channel and then became director of managed care business. He later
led the Western ECP sales division and, most recently, had been a part of the company’s
Strategic Business group.
A graduate of The Ohio State University with a BSBA in finance, Mr. Rossi served in a
senior management position for a large national retailer and worked in the financial
services industry consulting with small business owners on employee cost manage-
ment before joining Carl Zeiss Vision.
Bryan Rossi said it is a “pleasure and honour” to take over for John Dillon, who joined
Carl Zeiss Optical Canada Ltd. in 1988 as general manager. Mr. Dillon was instrumen-
tal in building the ZEISS lens business and also served as vice-president of Carl Zeiss
Optical and president of Carl Zeiss Canada Ltd.
Recently, Optical Prism magazine had an opportunity to discuss with Bryan Rossi his
new role with Carl Zeiss Canada's Vision Care division, a leading manufacturer of eye-
glass lenses and ophthalmic instruments, and what the future has in store.
