Jason Redman, formerly of SiruisXM Canada, has joined the team as Chief Financial Officer.

Redman’s work history is rich with financial experience. He comes to Dealfind from SiriusXM Canada. He served on the Sirius Canada CFO during its $550 million merger with XM Canada. He played an important role to the President and CEO at the time, and worked to secure regulatory approval for the merger with key Canadian agencies and participated in the raising of new debt financing on significantly improved terms to enhance the company’s financial position.
Redman also negotiated agreements for the satellite radio company with major automotive manufacturing partners and implemented a number of policies, procedures and internal controls to enhance financial reporting, forecasting, IT and HR management and the strategic review of corporate initiatives to ensure fiscal objectives were being met.
He played a pivotal role in SiruisXM Canada’s distinction as one of Canada’s “50 best Managed Companies” two years in a row.
Before SiruisXM, Redman was at Look Communications as the SVP of Finance and CFO. He was responsible for the entire financial, IT, HR and legal functions for the communications company after $80 million asset sale to Rogers Communications and Bell Canada through their joint venture, Inukshuk Wireless Partnership.
Redman earned an International MBA from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University and a Master of Accounting from the University of Waterloo. He is a Chartered Accountant with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and a licensed CPA in the State of Delaware.
