Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure of working with Chris since 2007. Chris is a highly respected, dependable and valued Tier 3 member of the Advanced Operations Group. He has always shown dedication and cheerful passion for his senior operations engineer role in the NOC. He is an expert on the legacy Layer 2 and Layer 3 platforms and is always one of the first engineers to become proficient on any newly introduced technologies such as the converged VPLS/MPLS platforms. As such he has become the "go to" man in supporting his peers and tier 1 and tier 2 engineers during complex faults - often during times of intense pressure, as well as building their competencies by delivering technical coaching and training support." and "Telco and ICT teams pride themselves on speed to market of their bleeding edge, feature rich technologies. The reality is that almost all new platform releases are funded by outdated, (sometimes unloved), legacy platforms. Chris Maurice is a rare Engineer that applies the same conscientious diligence to maintaining legacy platforms as he does for detail driven deployment of new technologies. Chris’ decisions and challenges have saved our network and my reputation on many occasions. He has reduced network failures not by being risk averse but by exercising a pragmatic business oriented risk awareness. Uniquely Chris understands the value (and BAU burden) of live legacy platforms and balances this with the value (and risk) of new releases. This vision has created a lot of extra work for him in his exceptional Risk Mitigation, ITIL oriented Change Release procedures. This vision ensured our customers have enjoyed genuine transparency as we upgrade and migrate core platforms behind the scenes. Chris is an Engineer who exercises respect for the customer, the business and the technology. Beyond all this he’s a jovial team player and generous sharer of knowledge."
