Business Profile

As one of the few women in the local construction industry, my journey has included many meaningful achievements. My passion for construction began in my teens, inspired by my father's entrepreneurial endeavours. After earning a B.Com Hons in Management from the University of Malta in 2018, my first major project was to oversee the finishing stages of the five-star AX The Palace in Sliema. Furthering my expertise, I pursued an MSc in Project and Programme Management at Ecole Superieure de Commerce, Paris, following which I managed large-scale national construction projects such as the New Parliament Building and the restored Opera House in Valletta.

Since my appointment in 2010, as Director of AX Construction, I've led numerous restoration projects, with the aim of enriching Malta's architectural heritage, such as the St John’s Co-Cathedral, the Oratory of the Jesuits’ Church, the Farsons Brewhouse, the Maritime Museum and the visitor center at St. Paul’s Catacombs. Presently, I'm leading transformative projects such as the residential development of the Verdala Terraces and the Verdala Wellness Hotel, phase 2 of the extensive redevelopment of the AX ODYCY destination, and the transformation of Palazzo Lucia into prestigious offices.

I serve as an Executive Director on AX Group's board, Vice President of the Malta Developers’ Association, and advocate sustainable development in the Building Industry Consultative Council. Engaging in international forums, I advocate for innovative and eco-friendly construction practices, ensuring quality and functionality for future generations.
