Approved portrait to follow
Samuel Burris is a British entrepreneur, music industry professional and technology venture founder with more than 20 years of entrepreneurial and creative experience.
His entrepreneurial journey began in music and entertainment — developing independent music ventures, recording projects, artist relationships, distribution capabilities and intellectual property. A significant milestone was the establishment of Regal Records in 2004.
Over subsequent years his interests expanded into digital businesses, websites, media, online platforms, technology, software development and business development. His vision evolved from developing individual ventures into building an interconnected enterprise capable of operating across multiple industries.
Global Empire Group represents the development of that vision into a corporate holding group.
“Entrepreneurship should extend beyond individual products and businesses. It should create opportunities to build, own, connect and develop enterprises that can grow beyond their original markets.”
