Adam Vella

Q: Favourite spot in Malta to unwind?
A: Anywhere in Gozo. That’s where I truly recharge.

Evenings with close friends over food or drinks help me unwind, but nothing beats time with my dog Gigi (named after Buffon) to ease life’s stresses.

Q: What’s your favourite thing about your job?
A: The people. Working with a passionate, kind, and professional team at the Malta Food Agency is genuinely inspiring.

Promoting something as universal as food in such a positive environment is incredibly rewarding.

Q: Best career advice you’ve received?
A: Know your worth and don’t fear failure.

Not everything will go perfectly, but progress comes from learning, adapting, and striving for excellence, not perfection.

Q: What’s something we wouldn’t know about
you from your CV?
A: I’m a huge fan of Italian culture from cars to food, and football.

I collect football kits (over 300!) and am a proud, if tested, Juventus supporter. I play piano, love anime (especially Dragon Ball and Pokémon), Marvel and DC films, and have a growing Funko Pop collection, many of them gifts.
