Business Profile

I currently hold the position of Senior Manager for Projects and Programmes at TradeMalta. Since I joined in 2017, my focus has been on developing and managing our knowledge-based services and tools and assisting local SMEs with their market research and data needs.

I have over 15 years experience in access to and implementation of EU-supported programmes and projects, at national and international levels. I’ve worked in multidisciplinary areas such as resource management, business analytics, innovation, SME competitiveness, communications strategy, project development, spatial planning, education, and market intelligence.

My past work history has provided me with professional expertise in business strategy and management, research, project management, programme development, marketing, event organisation, publishing, and trade promotion.
