Erik
The brains behind IBIS, Erik moved to Queenstown some 12 years ago to set up a reservation system for Shotover Jet. Since then he has laboured tirelessly for his clients developing IBIS into the almighty system it is today. When Erik is not busy building empires you will most often find him hanging out in the mountains. An avid climber and back-country skier, Erik's inventions are not just limited to software, most recently he's been busy perfecting a new backcountry ski binding. He is also an ambitious traveller scaling mountains and regions around the globe (like Antarctica) with wife Christine. E-mail: erik@ibis.co.nz |

Christine
Christine started with what was to become IBIS way back in the early days. She and Erik have laid down the foundations of IBIS and shaped the company and it’s culture to become the friendly, approachable, award winning business that it is today. Christine is the resident IBIS guru, as she has contributed to the design and creation of the software and knows it inside and out! Although she maintains a hectic work schedule, she does find some spare time to play the cello, sing, sculpt, run, bike, and climb! Did we mention she is also a prize winning photographer! Phew! It’s hard to keep up! E-mail: christine@ibis.co.nz |

Alison
Originally from Canada, Alison came to New Zealand with the intention of staying for "just one ski season"... and has never looked back. She has been with IBIS since April 2007 but was already very familiar with the system from her experience as Sales and Marketing Manager at Info & Track in Queenstown. Her experience as an IBIS customer has given Alison in-depth knowledge of the software which puts her in an ideal position to identify improvements and help market IBIS products. She enjoys working with customers and relates well to their everyday situations. E-mail: alison@ibis.co.nz |

With a background of IT Consultancy for major banks in London and working for the leading tourism software provider in Australia, Chris has joined the team as part of the big NEXUS push! Outside of work Chris can usually be found making music or hunting for surf in remote South Island locations. E-mail: christoph@ibis.co.nz |
