Charles Mizzi appointed CEO of Malta Gaming Authority

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has named Charles Mizzi as its next chief executive officer.

Mizzi will succeed Carl Brincat, who is stepping down at the end of January after three years in the role.

Mizzi joins the MGA following a five-year tenure at Residency Malta Agency, the government entity responsible for managing and promoting three residency programmes for non-EU nationals.

“I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to lead the Authority,” Mizzi said. “I am keen to build on past successes and, together with the team under the guidance of the Minister responsible and the Board of Governors, to strategically steer the Authority forward so that Malta’s already robust position in the field may be further strengthened, while delivering value to all stakeholders.”

Malta’s Minister for the Economy, EU Funds and Lands, Silvio Schembri, thanked Dr Brincat for his service as CEO over the past three years and congratulated Mizzi on his appointment.

“With his vast experience in managing the operations of a number of entities and his contributions towards major projects, Charles Mizzi is undoubtedly the right candidate to continue building on what the MGA has achieved so far, and lead his excellent colleagues within the Authority towards further future success,” said Minister Schembri.
