The company’s investment portfolio consists of some of the most recognisable government projects around the islands, including the Malta International Airport, the Valletta Cruise Port, and the Parliament Building.
The newly appointed Chairperson, Marlene Mizzi, is a former Labour Party Member of the European Parliament (MEP), having served in said capacity between 2013 and 2019.
In 2020, Ms Mizzi was appointed Maltese Ambassador to the Kingdom of Sweden and Norway.
Malita Investments went on to reveal that it has also welcomed Miguel Borg as Non-Executive Director of the company, with effect from 22nd June.
Mr Borg holds a wealth of experience in the local banking sector and presently serves as Chief Risk Officer and Executive Director at Bank of Valletta (BOV).
Antonio Ghio is an IT Law expert and has been with the firm for the past 25 years.
He said that private equity and venture capital play a vital role in modern, innovation-driven economies.
