With a long and respected family legacy in the industry, one could say that Benjamin Tabone Grech, CEO at Engel & Völkers Malta, was born into the world of real estate. And, since taking the helm as CEO in 2020, Benjamin is bringing his own leadership style to the table.

In this series of interviews with local CEOs, Benjamin says “I have always found myself in positions of leadership; during my time at boarding school being head of house, at university, captaining the sailing team and being president of the kitesurfing club and, today, making my mark within an industry that my family has formed part of for over 50 years.”

“Don’t take anyone for granted, and don’t accept average.”
