Martina studied in the Netherlands, obtaining a Msc in Information Management at Tilburg University and subsequently a PhD in Applied Economics at Delft University of Technology.

On 2 June 2017 Martina was sworn in as Minister of Economic Development in the cabinet of Eugene Rhuggenaath. He temporarily resigned his position on 21 February 2019 after the public prosecutor marked Martina as a suspect in a case regarding the Public Integrity Law. The case related to Martina's former position as CEO of an insurance company and shares in that company and the passing of a law regarding motor vehicle insurance. Martina stated that he was not guilty of any crime and resigned to give the public prosecutor room to investigate further. In May 2019 the public prosecutor dismissed the case. The political party Kòrsou di Nos Tur appealed the decision and started legal procedures to force the public prosecutor to take up the case. On 22 October 2019 a court rejected the claim of Kòrsou di Nos Tur. In November the Partido MAN nominated Martina once again for the post of Minister of Economic Development. It was determined Martina would resume his position on 11 March 2020, with this later being postponed to 22 May 2020. On this date he took over the position again from Giselle McWilliam.
