With in-depth knowledge of broadcast technology and the ability to build and maintain strategic relationships, Stanton is well placed to drive the business forward and to help Dejero solve the connectivity issues that its customers are facing today.
Fernandes continued, “Our growth strategy is about bringing more integrated solutions to the market by expanding technology partnerships and broadening our distributor and reseller network to better serve our customers and offer more touch points. Rob and Michael are at the forefront of this strategy and with their wealth of experience and deep understanding of our customers’ needs, they’re fully-equipped to lead the Dejero sales team into the next stage of our journey.”
