Business Profile

I had the privilege to be directly involved in the agro-food sector. With a background in various leadership roles, including positions at Milk Producers Co-operative (KPH) and Malta Dairy Products Ltd (Benna), I've had the opportunity of contributing to organisational growth and development. Currently, as CEO of the Malta Food Agency, my primary focus is leading a team of professionals to organise local food markets and champion local produce. My vision is to modernise local food systems and set standards while promoting the importance of supporting our local food industry. My experience with cooperatives has deepened my understanding of collaborative enterprises and their role in community prosperity.
