David-G-Curmi

Air Malta’s Executive Chairman David Curmi announced that he was invited by ex-Fortune 100 Executive Daniel Monehin to contribute to his leadership book entitled “The Pragmatic Optimist: Six Proven Strategies for Leading During a Crisis”.

Mr Curmi’s contribution to this book comes in the form of an interview together with six other leaders “who reflect a diversity of professional and personal backgrounds across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.”

The book also "includes a foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, the #1 New York Times Best Selling Author."

Mr Curmi’s interview within the book is one out of "10 in-depth interviews with a diverse group of seven leaders across who reflect a diversity of professional and personal backgrounds across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia."
