The question is, can we?  Tom Rue, aka. True, is starting at Traackr and we’re very excited about it.

He drinks about 5 red bulls a day, so we know he won’t fall asleep on us, and he has two kids at home to keep him sane in the midst of Traackr work. Ok, maybe a 9 – and 8-year-old won’t keep him sane, but he loves them, so we had to mention them in here.

A few more things about Tom we thought you might find pretty cool:

• Tom is a completely self-taught technologist. As a child, he had dyslexia and once he figured out he could read and write much better on a computer, he used technology for the rest of his formal education.
• He’s really looking forward to overcoming the technology challenges of storing tons (literally) of influencer data.
• He’s bungee jumped before!
• You can find him on LinkedIn.

Tom and I worked together some years back – for that matter, we went to hell and back together – so we anticipate his integration in the Traackr team to be a walk in the park…

Welcome to the team, Tom! We expect great things from you!

On a side note, it’s been a busy few months at Traackr with a lot of new hires, and we don’t anticipate slowing down anytime soon! Actually, we are still looking to hire a front-end developer. If you’re interested, or know anyone else that may be, be sure to get in contact with us.
