Perit Michelle Piccinino has been appointed CEO of the Lands Authority ahead of "extensive reform" in the sector.

She previously served as chief executive of the Environment and Resources Authority, being appointed to that role in March 2020.

She will be replacing Charles Attard at the helm of the Lands Authority.

Perit Piccinino graduated as an architect and civil engineer from the University of Malta in 1995.

Her career has seen her be entrusted with several high positions in the public sector. She started her career with the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA). When this underwent a demerger, becoming the Planning Authority (PA) and ERA, Perit Piccinino joined the latter.

Parliamentary Secretary Alex Muscat thanked Mr Attard for his dedicated service. He also welcomed Perit Piccinino into her new role, and said that “extensive reform” is planned for the sector.

The ERA board also thanked Perit Piccinino for her work during her tenure, where she oversaw a streamlining of the authority’s procedures and investment in digitalisation.

ERA meanwhile nominated Kevin Mercieca as acting CEO until an official public call for the appointment of the authority's new CEO gets underway.
