The Pieman

Chris Pearman joined the Trade Me Infrastructure team around 12 months ago. Over that time he quickly became an integral part of the team. Chris provides support for our corporate environment as well as the pressure cooker area of our production equipment.

Chris’s defining characteristics include an amazingly positive attitude, majestic customer service, and native smarts. He has ensured that users at Trade Me stay productive, they stay happy and our site stays up. Chris has a great sense of humour, gets along with everyone and makes smart decisions. This is what make this chap a rock star.

Excelling in IT is not just about know geek stuff, its about working with people, understanding the business and working smart. Chris gets this and that is why he excels at what he does. Chris appreciates the importance of people being able to continue to work and that IT is here to help, not hinder. It’s a breath of fresh air when you have staff like Chris that want to make things work, and not look at ways of restricting people because of policy or procedure or just because they are lazy.

This guy works his arse off and never complains – a managers dream employee!!

Have just had the pleasure to work with Chris during the move of Vianet to Trade Me. Aside from his IT skills… it was his infectious positve attitude that stole the show (and removed the stress from the occasion) Credit given where credit is due… Chris you are an IT Rock God!
