Furthermore, the dissemination of the banking industry and shift in financial services provided a springboard to allow Odyssey to bring an old school merchant banking service to the its clients. This also allow the firm to identify key partners to lead the Odyssey business units, from which all have been key principles at leading institutions, or they have built companies including setting up banks.
