Hili Ventures Ltd’s latest addition, Michael J Agius, who will join as Director of Finance for Major Projects as of this Monday, has explained that joining the group was “an easy decision” as their “ambitious” business strategy mirrors his “go-get-it character.”

Speaking to WhosWho.mt, he shared that in his new role he will be working directly under the Group’s CFO to take care of its corporate finance and investment needs.

“So essentially, I shall be appraising new investment opportunities that the group might venture into, assess the cash flow implications, propose the best method of financing this investment opportunity and if approved by the board of directors, see this transaction through,” he expanded.

Addressing the reasons he is departing the "special place", referring to Grant Thornton Malta, he said: “I wanted to try a new experience in my professional career and soon as this opportunity presented itself I knew I had to consider it.”

Mr Agius first announced he would be leaving the company in a heart-felt post on social media, in which he described a “pleasure and an honour to be part of Grant Thornton’s success story.”
