Before joining the group, he served as CEO of Grupo Amiria, a company that operates an international chain of supermarkets.
Furthermore, he holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration issued by the European University, and a postgraduate degree in Operations and Supply Chain Management from University of Liverpool.
He also successfully completed an Advancement Management Executive Programme and a General Management Executive Programme, both from Porto Business School.
The Convenience Shop, a leading retail chain in Malta, opened its first outlet in 2009. In recent weeks it has seen a number of changes in leadership. Denise Cortis was appointed Chief People Officer and David Tabone as group CEO, replacing Martin Agius.
