Two new directors have recently been appointed to sit on the board of directors of two companies forming part of BDO Malta, as the globally recognised brand prepares itself for further growth in Malta.
Colin Calleja is now director of Risk at BDO Consult Ltd, while Ivan Spiteri is director of Technology Advisory and Assurance at BDO Technology Advisory Ltd.
“These appointments add a wealth of experience and expertise that will be invaluable as we continue to grow and evolve our business,” says BDO Malta CEO Mark Attard. “The company will be in a stronger position to continue delivering the highest quality service to our clients, while simultaneously expanding its capabilities and governance structure.”
Calleja brings to the table a history of managing enterprise-wide risks and a passion for enabling organisations to reach their full potential within their respective markets. He holds a Master in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Business and Computing, both from the University of Malta, as well as an International Diploma in Enterprise Risk Management from London’s Institute of Risk Management, of which he is also a certified member.

He also serves in the Risk Advisory Services department at BDO since April 2020.
Spiteri boasts more than 30 years of experience as he takes up the role of director of Technology Advisory and Assurance, following almost five years as head of Technology Advisory at BDO. His résumé prior to joining BDO includes more than 11 years with one of the Big Four financial services firms, where he gained experience in delivering and leading advisory services in privacy, IT regulatory, IT gov
ernance and IT security, while assisting clients with data warehousing, systems integration and implementation. A further 14 years spent as part of a company listed on the Malta Stock Exchange also saw him rise to the position of head of IT Quality Assurance.
