Samantha Bowen is the Managing Director of Carrick Athena and has been part of the Carrick Group since its inception in 2014. Widely recognised as one of the company’s top performers and most respected leaders, Samantha has played an important role in shaping the growth and culture of the business over the years.

She developed Carrick’s first team of Private Wealth Managers and has successfully built and led high-performing teams across multiple jurisdictions. Her leadership combines deep industry experience with a genuine passion for people, relationships, and helping others grow with faith.

Carrick Athena was created with a clear vision: to offer women a more personal, supportive, and empowering financial experience. Athena is built around understanding the real-life moments women face – whether navigating divorce, loss, retirement, business success, family responsibility, or simply wanting greater certainty and involvement in their financial future.

Under Samantha’s leadership, Athena is focused on creating a trusted space where women feel heard, understood, and supported without pressure, judgment, or unnecessary complexity. Her vision for Athena is not only to provide exceptional financial guidance but to build a meaningful community centred around confidence, education, trust, and long-term relationships.

Known for her warm and approachable nature, Samantha believes the best advice begins with truly understanding people and the lives they want to create. She genuinely loves mentoring others, developing strong teams, and leading with empathy, authenticity, and integrity.

Outside of work, Samantha enjoys travelling, walking, golf, and spending quality time with her Wife and friends, values that continue to shape the balanced and relationship-focused approach she brings to both life and leadership.
