Meet our team

Martina is the CEO and founder at The Action Sports Translator. After starting her career in marketing translation in 2010 and launching a successful software localization agency a few years later, she was horrified at the quality of multilingual content in the outdoor industry and started TAST to fill a clear gap in the market. TAST is the world's first and only full-scale translation agency for the outdoor industry, providing brands with a sports translation service that truly gets them.

Recognized as a localization industry influencer multiple years in a row and co-founder and localization manager at Protect Our Winters Italy, when she isn’t working, you can usually find her hiking with her cats, learning the ropes of kitesurfing, climbing a mountain or snowboarding down the other side.

After spending years in London working a career in management, Fil decided he’d had enough of the big city hustle and took a sabbatical to slow-travel around Europe in a self-converted van to climb for a year. Not long after, he joined our fully remote team so he could keep doing what he loves while running our entire finance department.

Alongside having a knack for numbers, Fil loves being outdoors, especially when it comes to spending time on the rock. Sport climbing is what gets him ticking the most, but he also loves bouldering, running, hiking, and snowboarding.

Anna is our translation vendor manager, and her role involves selecting, vetting, onboarding and taking good care of all of our freelancers. She works closely with the rest of the team and helps us put together custom
teams for our clients, alongside setting up processes and document operations.

Italy-born and based, after living in Scotland for some time, Anna now lives in the north of Italy with her family. When not working, she loves taking her two little ones hiking and on other mountain adventures.

Chris leads our copy and content writing team, overseeing our content project managers and managing teams of specialized outdoor sports writers to deliver exceptional results for our clients.

Before joining The Action Sports Translator, Chris worked at Altitude, a climbing startup co-founded by Magnus Midtbø, where he developed courses with top athletes. His career highlights include writing for Climbing magazine, managing SEO projects for a marketing agency, and co-founding the Great Books Writers Workshop, a program hosted at prestigious institutions like Stanford and Amherst.

A Canadian native, Chris is fluent in French and Spanish and holds a master’s degree in Translation Studies. Outside of work, he’s a passionate sport and trad climber, a skilled skier with a racing background, and an avid trail runner.

Mario is one of our translation project managers. He takes care of some of our most demanding and challenging accounts, processing hundreds of requests every week and liaising with our translation specialists, selecting the most suitable profiles for each client and content type.

His greatest passion is CrossFit: whenever he’s not working, you’ll find him at the gym driving himself to his absolute limits. That, and he also loves horses.

Italian-born but based in Portugal, Anna manages translation projects for multiple accounts and supports our content lead on writing projects, too. She loves being out in nature and is an avid hiker: her favorite hiking destinations are the Azore Islands and Madeira.

She also has a huge passion for Yoga, which she loves practicing outdoors, and is studying to become a Yoga teacher. Plus, she’s recently taken up surfing and kayaking.
