Baystreet appoints new CEO

David Debono is looking forward to taking Baystreet forward and will be focusing on business development strategy, corporate development and consolidating the complex’s operating systems.

Having been active in the hospitality and leisure industry since the early 1990s, Debono obtained post-graduate qualifications in Operations, Strategic Management, Human Resources, Finance and Marketing from Henley Management College, and  recently completed the final stages for his MBA (Henley-Reading Business School) specialising in corporate and business strategy.

His career has spanned senior management positions within Rooms Division, F&B, and Sales and Marketing. He held the post of Group General Manager for a company that operated two hotels and a wellness centre in the northern part of the island.

During this time David Debono successfully achieved Malta’s first ‘Tourism Authority Quality Certification’ for one of the hotels in 2007. He joined a leading five-star hotel in October 2007 as Operations Director and was later appointed Director of Business Development, responsible for the formulation and implementation of the growth strategy for the property’s hospitality and retail units, before joining Baystreet for this new challenge.
