The Samsara Group Ltd (Samsara) is run by Paul Martin (Director/Owner), but occasionally calls upon the additional expertise of offshore advisers when necessary. Samsara has dealt over the years with both NZ and offshore clients.
After graduating from Oxford, Paul worked in the investment banking industry with Citibank in London, and Merrill Lynch in London and Singapore, before moving to NZ.
He has since been involved in private equity, government sponsored research, capital raising, media sponsorship and financing, charitable fund raising and the provision of governance and advisory services; typically related to problem solving, strategy development or restructuring, as well as private investment.
The Samsara group has more recently been involved with start up venture capital fundraising.
