Lawrence Schembri

Lawrence Schembri has received regulatory approval to take on the role of Chief People & Culture Officer at Bank of Valletta.

Mr Schembri was initially announced as Chief People & Culture Officer-designate in June, with his appointment subject to regulatory approval and the retirement of his predecessor, Ray Debattista, in September.

He has extensive experience in governance, employee relations and organisational development within the banking sector.

Prior to his appointment, Mr Schembri served as Head of Quality & Governance within BOV's People & Culture function, overseeing governance frameworks, policies and risk management relating to human capital.

In his new role, he will be responsible for developing and implementing the bank's People & Culture strategy, with a focus on organisational performance, leadership development, regulatory compliance and workplace culture.

His appointment forms part of a series of changes to BOV's senior management structure announced earlier this year.
