GoCanvas®, a leading mobile data collection and workflow automation suite of SaaS solutions for field workers, today announced the appointment of James Taylor as its new Chief Executive Officer. Taylor, who has been instrumental in driving innovation and growth as Chief Product Officer for GoCanvas, will lead the company into its next era of expansion and strategic success.
Taylor’s extensive experience driving growth and supporting both partnership and product organizations uniquely positions him to guide GoCanvas as it continues to scale and innovate in an ever-evolving market. During his tenure as Chief Product Officer, he spearheaded key initiatives across all three organizations, transforming their product roadmaps and elevating their market leadership in the operational safety, efficiency and compliance solutions industries. Prior to GoCanvas, Taylor spent more than 11 years at Honeywell in several key leadership roles within their software businesses.
“I’m honored to take on the role of CEO and continue building on our strong foundation of innovation and collaboration for fieldworkers,” said Taylor. “As GoCanvas embarks on this exciting chapter, I’m eager to continue working with our talented team and the broader teams at Bluebeam and the Nemetschek Group to deliver even greater value to our customers, partners and stakeholders.”
