The Faculty of Economics, Management & Accountancy (FEMA) at the University of Malta has bid farewell to Professor Emanuel Said on his final day as Dean, recognising his years of service marked by leadership, vision, and academic dedication.

Prof. Said has been the Dean of the faculty since 2021. He holds a PhD from Cranfield University School of Management, where his research focused on how organisations utilise customer insights. His work has been presented at several international conferences, including the Academy of Marketing Conference and the Australia New Zealand Marketing Academy Conference, and has been published in the Journal of Marketing Management.

Prior to his academic role at the University of Malta, he supervised master’s research at Cranfield and Glyndwr University, and lectured at Henley Business School and the Grenoble Graduate School of Business in Malta.

In addition to his academic credentials, Prof. Said is an active member of several professional bodies, including the Academy of Marketing Sciences, the Academy of Marketing (UK), and the British Academy of Management. He also serves as a reviewer for a number of journals, including the Journal of Marketing Management and the International Journal of Market Research.

Beyond academia, he has advised both private and governmental organisations on marketing strategy, applying research-driven insights to support decision-making.

As he steps down from his role as Dean, FEMA expressed its gratitude for his contributions and extended its best wishes for his next chapter.

Prof. Said will be succeeded by Professor Simon Grima, a recognised leader in the fields of risk management and compliance.
