He currently leads Malta’s Advisory function- one of the broadest multi-disciplinary practices in the country -and also heads the Clients & Markets function for the KPMG Islands Group, a regional cluster within KPMG’s global network.

      I am honoured to take the helm as Senior Partner at KPMG in Malta. My priority will be to build on the strong legacy established by my predecessors, focused on our purpose and the value we bring to our clients; listening, understanding, reflecting, and acting to support their growth. Together with our people and leadership team, I am committed to our ambition that KPMG is the most trusted professional services firm for the organisations we serve in Malta and beyond.

      Senior Partner

      KPMG in Malta

      André joined KPMG in 1986 and he took over responsibility for the tax function in Malta in 1993. He was appointed partner in 1994 and was instrumental in driving significant developments within the tax function. Over nearly three decades, he has advised leading local and international businesses, multinationals, private equity firms, and the public sector on tax matters. He has played a key role in developing Malta’s tax framework and establishing the country as a financial centre, including providing guidance on EU-related fiscal matters following Malta’s accession to the European Union.

      As I step down from the role of Senior Partner, I take great pride in the progress we have made as a firm. I am confident that I leave behind a strong organisation with the foundations for continued success, supported by a talented and committed leadership team. I have no doubt that David will build on this momentum and guide KPMG in Malta to even greater achievements.
