About our team

Mr. Hodgkinson is one of Canada’s satellite pioneers.  He was one of the very first to introduce satellite communications technologies for voice, data, and entertainment to the oil & gas industry beginning in Northern Alberta in 1981 and has evolved to the national stage with the formation of Galaxy Satellite in 1992 and later with Galaxy Broadband, both leading companies in the Canadian satellite industry.  For the past twenty five years, Mr. Hodgkinson has personally worked with industry dealers and consumers in virtually every region of this country.  The satellite broadband business is one of the most dynamic industries in the world and requires leadership coupled with grass roots understanding to build a business that will sustain itself long into the future.  Mr. Hodgkinson provides this leadership to Galaxy Broadband. Through his talents, Galaxy has grown to be one of the key providers of Broadband Satellite Communications to both consumers and businesses in Canada.

The cornerstone of his business philosophy is that the customer needs come first, and are best served through professional local service supported by a national infrastructure dedicated to excellence.  This is evidenced by the Galaxy Broadband employee team and national Reseller Network he has put together to date.

James Derwinsky  V.P. Sales & Marketing

James has been a pioneer in the distribution of satellite products for over 17 years. James has a very clear understanding of what is required to bring a new technology to the Canadian marketplace and to Canadian retailers. After leaving Canada’s largest C-Band Satellite Distributor as National Sales Manager, James joined a small private distributor as V.P. of sales. They quickly became one of Canada’s success stories in the satellite industry, launching Canada’s largest DTH provider into the marketplace and quickly bringing satellite into the mainstream.

Seven years later has joined Galaxy to do it all over again. "Galaxy has a proven track record in subscriber management. They have always done a fabulous job managing that relationship. I see that as the backbone to our service in Canada. I can go out with confidence and build a sales force and a reseller base with the first real innovation in the satellite industry since 1997. We have a product that provides our resellers with new, incremental, profitable business and a product that just works well."
