Microsoft has appointed Adrianna Zammit as country manager for Malta.
Entrusted with managing the dedicated and energetic team at Microsoft Malta, Ms Zammit already has a clear picture of Microsoft Malta’s vision for the months and years to come –a vision based on the values of presence, innovation and people.
“My first goal is for Malta to truly feel Microsoft’s presence and impact locally; not only with our customers, partners and the community at large but also with our government. Microsoft has unparalleled resources, technologies and expertise globally. Coupling this with our local presence, we have all the necessary tools to propel our government’s position as an eGovernment leader in addition to our government’s vision for Malta as a Centre of Excellence by 2015”, she explained.
Being a leader in software innovation is at the core of Microsoft’s agenda. “Last year, Microsoft spent nearly $9 billion on research and development. At the moment the majority of this is committed to developing the latest technologies such as cloud computing – an internet-based computing service. Leveraging this, my goal is to ensure that we bring the latest technologies and resources to Malta, providing our customers not only with innovation but also with efficient, reliable and secure technology at a lower cost,” said Ms Zammit.
“I consider the Microsoft team as one of our most important assets. It is critical that we continue to develop the best-in-class individuals in our industry and invest in them by ensuring they have all the resources, training and support they need to be enriched in their jobs and everyday interactions within our community,” she added.
Adrianna Zammit, a Maltese-American, holds a degree in electrical and computer engineering. She brings with her extensive global experience in IT, engineering, sales and executive management from Fortune 500 companies. The Microsoft Malta team today consists of nine staff with a broad range of expertise in various areas, such as sales, services, marketing and technology.
