For many, summer presents the only real opportunity to slow down, unwind and restore balance.
P. Cutajar & Co Ltd CEO Sarah Zammit Cutajar, who has led the family-owned business for the past two years, is one such example.
In the latest edition of this year’s MaltaCEOs.mt summer interview series, Sarah details how she prefers to unwind during summer and regain her vim and vigour.
Sarah has been involved in the family business since 1993, having initially joined as Secretary to the Sales & Marketing Director. She has since progressed up the company ladder, and was appointed to the top senior position in 2021. Despite her increased responsibilities, spending time with her family remains a must.
