Professor John Mamo will be the new non-executive chairperson of the MFSA. He will be replacing Professor Joseph Bannister, who will be retained as an advisor to the government. This was announced today by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat during a lunch with the Malta Business Network.

Professor Mamo was most recently appointed Commissioner for Malta at the Expo in Milan in 2016. In March of the same year he was decorated by the Italian Government for his work in enhancing Italo-Maltese commercial relations and nominated Cavaliere del Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana.

Professor Mamo obtained a Doctor of Law at the University of Malta in 1971 and has since been an active practitioner specialising in the field of commercial law. He is the founder of John Mamo and Associates, today merged into MamoTCV.

Throughout the years, Professor Mamo has served on the boards of several companies in Malta and abroad as director or chairperson. He also served as Head of Department of Commercial Law and was appointed Commissioner of Data Protection in 2002.

The Prime Minister said that Professor Mamo is a respected entrepreneur and professional who will do a great job.
