Business Profile

As Chief Officer Business and IoT, I lead Melita’s offering for our business customers within Malta alongside our Internet of Things (IoT) division, melita.io, where 95% of our business is international.

The Melita Business approach is based on two key pillars: reliability and value. We also adopt a very open approach, building partnerships with experts and specialists and not trying to do it all alone. During my tenure in this role, I have focused on creating an ecosystem of partnerships that benefit our business clients in Malta and internationally.

This principle was adopted when we launched our state-of-the-art data centre, opening it up to system integrators to leverage as a platform for their clients. We also addressed key national infrastructural projects such as nationwide WAN for Malta’s government schools with a key local networking partner. More recently we have launched Smart Cloud, a cloud platform in collaboration with local specialists in hardware and virtualisation. The same open approach guided us in our launch of melita.io – providing connectivity to system integrators and application developers working in the IoT field. We have developed an ecosystem of partners, combining our expertise and exporting local talent and solutions to leading international brands.

This same philosophy shapes our internal ways of working, where my focus is on supporting and challenging my team so that they can continuously find new ways to contribute and grow personally whilst helping our clients’ businesses grow.

Prior to my current role I held various senior positions at Melita, which gave me a broad perspective on the telecommunications industry. I hold an MBA with distinction from Warwick Business School, as well as an MA in Integrated Marketing and a BComm (Hons) from the University of Malta. I have also studied at INSEAD, the Digital Marketing Institute, and The London Institute of Banking and Finance.

I love all things digital, gadgets and communication in general. Beyond work I am married and have two energetic children.
