Pierre Galea Elected MDA Acting General Secretary
Galea Takes the Helm: A New Chapter for Malta’s Business Advocates
In the heart of Malta’s bustling capital, Valletta, the Malta Development Association (MDA) has a new acting general secretary. Pierre Galea, a familiar face in the local business scene, has stepped into the role, promising a fresh perspective and renewed vigour.
Galea’s appointment comes at a time when the MDA, the island’s leading business advocacy group, is navigating a complex scene. The association, based in the historic Auberge d’Italie on Republic Street, finds itself at the intersection of Malta’s economic growth and the challenges posed by a rapidly evolving global business environment.
From Private Sector to the Helm
Galea’s journey to the MDA’s top post is a testament to his deep roots in Malta’s business community. A seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in the private sector, he has held various roles, including that of CEO at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry.
“I’ve always been passionate about driving Malta’s economic growth,” Galea told Hot Malta in an exclusive interview. “Now, I’m excited to bring my experience to the MDA and help shape the future of our business scene.”
An Agenda for Progress
Galea’s appointment follows a strategic review of the MDA’s operations. He has outlined an ambitious agenda, focusing on enhancing the association’s advocacy role, fostering public-private sector dialogue, and promoting sustainable business practices.
“We need to ensure that the voice of the business community is heard loud and clear,” Galea said. “We also need to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with sustainability and digital transformation.”
Galea’s plans include strengthening the MDA’s relationship with local and international stakeholders, as well as enhancing the association’s role in policy formulation. He also aims to make the MDA a hub for knowledge-sharing and best practices.
: A Call to Action
As Galea takes the reins, he calls on Malta’s business community to engage with the MDA and contribute to shaping the island’s economic future. “We’re stronger together,” he said. “I invite all businesses, large and small, to join us in this journey.”
Hot Malta will be following Galea’s tenure closely, tracking his progress and exploring the impact of his leadership on Malta’s business scene.
