IoD Scotland chairman Aidan O'Carroll said Mr Cannon had "a great reputation for reinvigorating a brand and taking it to the widest possible audience".
Mr Cannon said: "Having experience of working across multiple sectors has given me a very grounded view into the needs of businesses - especially those facing commercial challenges.
"It is no secret that businesses and their leaders are currently working day-to-day and not year-to-year as a direct result of the strained political and economic environments.
"It is therefore the responsibility of organisations like the Institute of Directors to be their voice in Scotland and ensure that they are heard at the highest levels."
