Following an internal call for a Chief Executive Officer, the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) on Friday announced the appointment of Emanuel Darmanin to the role.

“On behalf of the Chairman, the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and all employees, we wish the best of luck to Emanuel Darmanin in his new role,” MITA said in a statement.

Over the years he had responsibilities for ICT Governance, Service Management, Information Security and Risk Management, Contracting and Supplier Management, and Project Management.
