Leadership Evolution at Trademark Group: Honouring the Foundation, Advancing the Future

Every organisation reaches a moment that reflects both its journey and its future. For Trademark Group of Companies, that moment is now.

After six years of leadership as Chairman, Founder Sam Jamsheedi is transitioning into the next phase of his professional journey — marking a natural evolution in the growth of the organisation he built from the ground up. Stepping into the role of Global Chairman is Mr Amen Zoabi, a long-standing member of the Trademark Group community whose leadership and strategic insight will guide the next chapter.

This transition is not a departure from the vision — it is a continuation of it.

The Vision That Built Trademark Group of Companies

In 2020, Sam Jamsheedi founded Trademark Group of Companies with a clear and ambitious vision: to connect high-growth markets across the globe, strengthen the global reach of Australian enterprises, and create meaningful commercial pathways across multiple jurisdictions.

What began as a focused initiative has evolved into a multi-jurisdictional platform facilitating cross-border investment, strategic partnerships, and international collaboration. Under Sam’s leadership, Trademark Group grew into a recognised global ecosystem supporting market entry, fostering government and private-sector relationships, and enabling scalable commercial engagement.

Over the past six years, several defining milestones have shaped Trademark’s growth. The organisation was founded in 2020 with the ambition to connect forward-thinking companies with international opportunities. As the network expanded, trade missions and strategic partnerships strengthened cross-border engagement, while a platform bringing together governments, businesses, and investors was developed to facilitate global collaboration. As the organisation matured, governance frameworks and operational structures were reinforced to ensure Trademark was built to endure beyond any single individual.

Today, with a strong and stable foundation in place, Sam transitions to pursue broader cross-border initiatives while Trademark Group continues to expand its international reach.

International trade and global collaboration have always been deeply personal passions for Sam. His transition is not a departure from the vision, but a natural evolution — creating space for continued institutional growth while he focuses on advancing commercial engagement across established and emerging markets.

Trademark Group today stands as a structured, internationally connected organisation with enduring systems, governance frameworks, and strategic partnerships — a testament to the foundation built under his leadership.

Welcoming Amen Zoabi as Global Chairman

As Trademark Group continues to grow, leadership that understands both commercial strategy and community responsibility is essential.

Amen Zoabi brings more than two decades of executive experience across development, investment, and governance. With a background in engineering and a career built on delivering complex, large-scale projects, Amen has led teams through sustained growth while maintaining a strong focus on long-term impact.

Beyond commercial success, his record reflects commitment to community contribution, education, and philanthropic initiatives — values that resonate strongly within the Trademark network.

Having been involved with Trademark Group since its early days, Amen understands the organisation’s purpose, its responsibility to its members, and its role in strengthening international trade connections.

As Global Chairman, his focus will be on:

Expanding international partnerships
Strengthening cross-border commercial pathways
Reinforcing governance and operational structure
Deepening member engagement across jurisdictions

This leadership transition signals momentum and continuity — building on what has been achieved while opening space for expanded opportunity.
