Welcoming the appointment, Lord Marland, Chairman of CWEIC, noted:

“JP’s background and focus on impact-led growth strongly complements CWEIC’s mission to strengthen trade and investment links across the Commonwealth, particularly for small and developing economies, making him a very exciting addition to our global team.”

“I am delighted to take up the role of Country Director for Malta at CWEIC. The Commonwealth offers a unique platform for collaboration, trade, and investment, and I look forward to working with partners across the network to help unlock inclusive and sustainable economic opportunities for Malta.”

As Country Director for Malta, JP will support the ongoing work of the Malta Hub, promote engagement with Commonwealth markets, and contribute to CWEIC’s efforts to unlock inclusive economic opportunities across its global network.
