Career pivot: From high-earner in software to founding ActiveSport

"Being made redundant gave me the push I needed; it would have been very hard to leave a well-paid job with a young family to provide for"

Eoin Greaves spent 15 years in software sales, then realised that coaching sports teams was what brought him most joy, so he launched 'ActiveSport’ in Ireland.

Eoin Greaves 43, lives in Kilmacud with his wife, Sorcha and their two children. After deciding a humanities degree at Trinity wasn’t for him, he completed a Media Studies degree at Ballyfermot College and then followed that up with a master’s in business and Entrepreneurship at DIT.  

He then spent 15 years in software sales with three global leaders in cloud computing and enterprise software.
