Chris Martin

Managing Partner Bridgepointe Technologies

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Chris Martin is a Managing Partner at Bridgepointe Technologies, a technology advisory and sourcing firm that helps mid-market and enterprise organisations buy and manage cloud, connectivity, contact-centre and IT services. The firm exists because enterprise technology procurement is structurally lopsided: a company buys a wide-area network or a contact-centre platform perhaps once a decade, while the vendor sells one every week, and the buyer has no practical way to compare fifty suppliers on its own. Bridgepointe sits on the buyer’s side of that asymmetry, and Martin’s stated position is that the value he offers is an unbiased, objective assessment of which solution actually fits — not a preference for any one supplier. He joined in November 2022 from Converged Network Services Group, where he had been a Managing Partner and part of the team that grew CNSG into one of the largest regional technology services brokers in the country.

Professional Journey

Martin’s career has been spent inside the technology channel — the layer of agents, brokers and advisors that sits between carriers and cloud providers on one side and the enterprises buying from them on the other. He began in carrier and consulting roles at CM5 Communications, MicroServe Consulting and XO Communications, learning the supply side of connectivity before moving to represent buyers.

At Converged Network Services Group he became a Managing Partner and was, by Bridgepointe’s account, a key part of the team that built CNSG into one of the largest regional technology services brokers in the United States. That is the period that defines his professional reputation: CNSG’s growth came from assembling a partner network and a supplier portfolio broad enough that an advisor could credibly claim to be neutral across the market rather than fronting for two or three carriers.

In November 2022 Bridgepointe recruited him as a Managing Partner, extending its coverage into the Denver area. The move was not isolated. Two other CNSG Managing Partners, Ali Niroo and Ryan Will, had joined Bridgepointe earlier the same month, and announcing Martin’s arrival Bridgepointe chief executive and co-founder Scott Evars described him as a true sales leader who delivers value to his clients and to the teams he joins. Martin, for his part, pointed to Bridgepointe’s investment in its own engineering bench as the differentiator that drew him — the argument being that an advisory firm with real technical depth can evaluate architectures rather than simply broker contracts.

At Bridgepointe he advises clients on sourcing and lifecycle management across carriers, cloud providers and hosted telephony vendors, and contributes written guidance to the firm’s client-facing library, including a guide to the mistakes organisations most often make when running a technology RFP.
