James Roney joined Dial a Nerd in 2007 after spending much of his career servicing AngloGold Ashanti in West Africa and Dimension Data in Johannesburg. After returning back to South Africa, James joined Dial a Nerd specifically looking for fresh challenges. He started as a Junior technician in our Soho division, moving to our business division within his first two months. He finally gained the position of Technical Manager after four short years. This move made sense not only from a natural evolutionary point of view, but because James eats, breathes and sleeps team work. Despite having originally studied Information Technology at Cape Tech, Petrie decided to pursue a career in sales and marketing. Starting as a sales consultant he rose to become the youngest sales manager at the time for one of the leading clubs in the fitness industry in South Africa. Yet IT remained his passion, Petrie decided to combine his inclination and his passion for working with clients and providing top level service. He joined Dial a Nerd in 2007 as a sales consultant for the business division, advising clients on the best way to maximise the output of their IT infrastructure. He took the position of Branch manager in 2010 and has since overseen the consolidation of all the Cape Town branches. Petrie believes that a fantastic client experience is the key to any successful business. Hobbies and interest includes a mix of competitive sports and anything gadget related. Having cut his teeth in the working world as a waiter in the service industry from the age of 16, Aaron’s skill set lies in building and maintaining relationships with clients, suppliers and employees alike. In keeping with the entrepreneurial spirit of Dial a Nerd, Aaron has handled HR, procurement and sales, and branch management & then more recently the consolidation of the company to mention just a few positions. In the last 24 months, Dial a Nerd has migrated through some major changes, which has required a focus on consolidating staff and clients into a central Gauteng office.
