About Matt Fenech

I embarked on my career journey in the Hospitality sector, graduating in Restaurant Management at the Institute for Tourism Studies following a meaningful spell at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. By my early twenties, I found myself immersed in the role of a Restaurant Manager in Malta. Driven by a desire to diversify my skills in Hospitality, I transitioned into a Sales position at a local hotel branch. Once excelling in my role, I was keen to take my expertise to a local start-up, & Malta’s Number 1 Student & Youth Platform, FreeHour. In a short span of 9 months, I was promoted to Head of Sales, eventually assuming the role of Head of Commercial. I have now been working at FreeHour for just over 3 years. Beyond my professional commitments, I share my insights as a co-host on FreeHour’s “Growing Pains” podcast and co-founded the “Serie A Spotlight” podcast with my brother, showcasing my passion for engaging storytelling & sport beyond the boardroom.
