Daniela Pavia has been appointed Interim CEO of Hili Properties, effectively immediately, after Managing Director Georgios Kakouras was temporarily suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
Hili Properties, a listed company that is part of one of Malta’s largest enterprises – Hili Ventures – made the announcement on Thursday (today) evening.
