Business Profile

I joined TradeMalta as a Trade Promotion Senior Executive in July 2025, where I support the internationalisation of Malta-based businesses. My role involves the planning, coordination, and execution of trade promotion activities and events aimed at enhancing the visibility and international market presence of our clients.

This position calls for excellent communication and administrative skills, a deep understanding of global trade dynamics, and a strong commitment to the internationalisation of Malta-based enterprises. With an energetic and driven character, I bring a hands-on, solutions-oriented approach to my work, focused on helping businesses unlock global opportunities and achieve sustainable growth.

I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Malta, which has further strengthened my analytical capabilities and strategic insight. Completing my Master’s has enabled me to combine economic theory with practical execution to support Malta-based businesses in their international growth ambitions.

I am passionate about contributing to TradeMalta’s mission and leveraging my skills to empower Malta-based businesses to expand internationally.
