Providing Trusted Software Solutions For Business Transformation and Growth
ActionPoint was founded in Ireland by two best friends and computer science graduates. David Jeffreys and John Savage came to Southern California in the early 00’s, and spent a number of years developing ground-breaking enterprise software solutions, much of which is still in use today.
Now with offices in LA, Limerick, Dublin and London, there is a team of almost 100 technology specialists, delivering groundbreaking business transformation software for leading clients across aviation, manufacturing, financial services, media and more.
The US operation is led by Tim Martin, who has been a part of the ActionPoint story for almost 20 years. Tim and the US team work closely with CTO John Savage, and the Business Analysis team, to deliver outstanding software solutions for ActionPoint’s vendor partners in the US and beyond.
Tim Martin - Head of US Business Development
Tim heads up our Business Development initiatives in the US and has done so for over five years. Originally from Belfast, Ireland, Tim moved to California in 1982. Prior to working in the tech industry Tim spent 10 years working in the restaurant trade managing a local restaurant in California. He changed paths in 1994 to set up a technology company selling hardware systems and in the late nineties moved into software development.
In 2001 he founded DataMate Global and began development on one of the first corporate Instant Messaging platforms. During his time at the helm of DataMate John and David joined the team and a longstanding friendship began. Years later, after DataMate was acquired by RB Zack & Assocs, Tim came on board to represent Action Point in the US.
