Business Profile

As CEO, I lead Clubclass Residential Language School, SAFCO Hospitality and Internships Worldwide. I have spent 26 years in hospitality, including 21 in the English language teaching (ELT) industry. I studied Hospitality Management and pursued diplomas in Hotel Operations Management and Educational Management.

Over the past three years, I’ve grown SAFCO Hospitality’s tourism business and attracted leisure school groups. At Clubclass, I developed a strategy to bring in more groups, which are now an integral part of the school’s business. I’ve found it particularly interesting to help build Internships Worldwide from the ground up and expand it from Malta to Dublin.

I enjoy seeing people take ownership of an idea and make it work. I look five to seven years ahead to see where each business could be, then formulate a strategy to get there. Together, we turn that strategy into priorities for the next two to three years.
