In today’s feature, we had the opportunity to speak with Chris Pearson of The Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Chris Pearson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the late 1990s, Chris Pearson, CEO and co-founder of The Light, found himself working as the first and only IT manager at a brand consultancy in London. At the time, the company had just two computers and hired Pearson to manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe role wasn\u2019t sufficient or big enough; it was just dial-up internet and various other bits,\u201d Pearson says. \u201cIt became clear to me that you could do something like this for lots of other companies at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where the idea for The Light was born. More than 20 years later, the company is still providing managed services from its central London headquarters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of its goals, The Light aims to bring clients to the cutting edge of technology. By equipping clients with the latest tools on the market \u2014 scalable tools that make life easier \u2014 companies are able to focus more on their core competencies instead of running into IT issues and addressing them over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
