"Nihil Nisi Optimum – Nothing but the Best"

Business Profile

I am active in Malta and abroad in the commercial, social, political and philanthropic fields. An international marketor and management consultant by trade and specialisation, I chair a consultancy organisation in Europe and the Middle East and run the four-star superior Noru Hotel Malta. I have published several literary works locally, in the UK and the US. I am the only Maltese to be given the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Marketors of the City of London and the status of Liveryman of the Company. In 2005, I was the first Maltese to be granted the Freedom of the City of London as Citizen and Marketor of London. I was also appointed as consultant in the hospitality industry to various government agencies in Scotland, Slovenia, Hungary and the UAE. I sit on the board of directors or am the adviser to various firms and organisations in and outside Malta. I was also a visiting lecturer at the Lycée Privee La Providence in France and lectured marketing and marketing strategy.
