My business background is as diverse as my interests in the business world itself. I began as an apprentice mechanic and having mastered engines and exhausts I moved to explore the wider business arena. I am a graduate of the University of Malta, fBS Clermont-Ferrand, Dublin’s Trinity and Griffith Colleges, Shanghai’s Fudan University and most recently Paris’ HEC. Before beginning work with ELAN, I wanted a rounded experience of commerce across different cultures. I visited a total of 18 countries over one year which saw 302 days of meetings and discussion with travellers and entrepreneurs. The insights I garnered have changed my vision of the world, and what keeps it turning. Insights drive the engines I work on today, and I continue to enjoy tinkering with systems to find new and innovative ways to make them cost-effective, efficient and profitable.
