Today, meet Graham Pierce, from the European PSG team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pierce is a leading investment management services team member and a UK commercial consultant. Pierce has been working at Yardi for 13 years. He spends his time in the office checking whether people have the information and decisions they need to progress on their tasks and whether anyone is looking for help, mainly if they are in different time zones. His workload includes a mix of consulting, working with sales and solutions consulting teams and longer-term and ad hoc questions and requests for support and escalation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get to work with many very intelligent, capable\u00a0and motivated people from whom I learn from all the time. I feel supported and valued by my boss and superiors, and I can give my team stimulating work, help them where needed, and look after them,\u201d said Pierce.<\/p>\n<p>Pierce feels that the work culture at Yardi is meritocratic.\u00a0People in senior positions have an incredible grasp of detail, and good ideas are adopted. In contrast, the occasional bad ones are challenged logically and respectfully, irrespective of who came up with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the consulting team, we are not focusing on selling time but on getting clients live, which is a much more rewarding way to work. We have a lot of tremendously smart, experienced, and capable people who are friendly and helpful and invested in one another\u2019s success,\u201d Pierce explained.<\/p>\n<p>Pierce describes Yardi as a stable company with a strong growth track record and a long-term outlook. It\u2019s a nice place to work with high employee retention, which excites new hires to start work here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy to take all of this for granted after 13 years, but when I think back to the other places I\u2019ve worked, I don\u2019t think any of them had all of these features,\u201d said Pierce.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi is hiring globally! Interested prospective employees can explore opportunities on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/careers.yardi.com\/\">Careers site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem-solving skills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pierce has learned not to take anything personally from upset clients or when things do not go according to plan. Clients look to him for guidance and help if they are worried or upset, \u201cI still remind myself about this from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His last full-time consultant job for BNY was a few years ago, his most significant accomplishment yet. \u201cWe had some tough times in that project and a few moments when at least I thought, \u2018I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to solve this,\u2019 but we got there and learned an awful lot in the process.\u00a0 Nowadays, I do a bit less hands-on work, so it\u2019s more about seeing people in my team build confidence and skill in new areas and get great feedback from their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From time to time, Pierce still gets to work on something that he and a client or a prospect think is a showstopper, and together, they figure out a way to do it, \u201clike we\u2019ve done with pooled funds and some consolidation and IM structure requirements that are really rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pierce is fascinated by programming most of the time, but right now, the AI functionality that Doug Dion and his team are working on is breathtaking, so he says he\u2019d like to join in with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cricket enthusiast<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png\" alt=\"Graham Pierce\" class=\"wp-image-38434\" style=\"width:375px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=400 400w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=500 500w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=600 600w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=720 720w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=800 800w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/08\/Graham1.png?w=1440 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pierce likes cycling, indoor climbing, and bouldering outside the office with his daughter. He also started baking a few years ago and has a few go-to recipes he likes to share, mainly bread\u2014he has a tremendous sourdough recipe he would be happy to share! He watches lots of cricket, mainly Surrey CCC at Kennington Oval, and organizes occasional work outings to watch a game there. Pierce hopes to watch England play test cricket in Barbados, Melbourne, Kolkata and Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve raced against at least three riders who\u2019ve competed in the Tour de France, including one former winner and beaten at least two of them.\u00a0There is some fairly important small print that accompanies this (factually correct) statement,\u201d expressed Pierce.<\/p>\n<p>Pierce is gradually working his way through riding the routes and watching live the biggest one-day bike races in Europe.
