Sam Neckář practised as a corporate lawyer in London before moving in 2013 to Burma (after
sanctions were lifted) where he worked for a Burmese conglomerate, structuring partnerships with
international MNCs and DFIs to build up businesses across verticals. After Burma, Sam continued this
developmental work but across frontier markets globally – especially in Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt and
East Africa. Sam now works with Caroline Rupert and her Family Office “Kathaka” whose focus on
the conservation aspect of the office is to support Peace Parks Foundation in structuring and
pioneering innovative new financing models to help it advance its mission.
