Accounts Payable Manager (Contract)

It all started on a bus. An election campaign bus.

Through his experience providing mobile connectivity for election campaigns, Dejero founder Bogdan Frusina witnessed first-hand the challenges that journalists faced reporting live from the field. He knew there was a better way.

Building a team with a passion for innovation and a drive to persevere, he set about developing and commercializing a portable and wireless live video broadcast solution. In November 2009, that vision came to life. Dejero enabled the world’s first live transmission of the torch relay across Canada for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Since then, we’ve evolved into a world-leading wireless telecommunications aggregator, providing resilient, uninterrupted internet connectivity vital for critical communications. Broadcasters, production companies, first responders, defense departments, and government agencies put their trust in Dejero.
