Henry Izawa is the President and Chief Executive Officer of FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a key division of Fujifilm dedicated to advancing medical imaging and healthcare solutions. He has played a pivotal role in strengthening Fujifilm's position in the healthcare industry, most notably through the 2019 acquisition of Hitachi’s diagnostic imaging business for $1.56 billion. This landmark deal, one of the largest in radiology history, expanded Fujifilm’s portfolio to include advanced technologies such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound, complementing its existing strengths in medical informatics, digital radiography, and endoscopy.

Under Izawa’s leadership, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas has prioritized innovation, particularly through its REiLI initiative, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance clinical workflows and provide data-driven insights for healthcare professionals. His vision has positioned Fujifilm as a comprehensive healthcare partner, offering solutions that span prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This includes the launch of cutting-edge products like the ECHELON Synergy MRI system and Velocity MRI, despite challenges such as constrained hospital budgets.

Izawa’s influence extends beyond the Americas. He has held leadership roles in Fujifilm’s European and French operations, where he oversaw radiology, in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), and endoscopy divisions. His extensive experience has been instrumental in driving Fujifilm’s global growth in the healthcare market, with a focus on emerging fields like digital pathology and AI applications aimed at improving patient care and clinical outcomes. Through his strategic direction, Fujifilm continues to evolve as a leader in healthcare innovation.
