This year marks two decades for John Psaila, managing partner of Deloitte Luxembourg, as an expat in the grand duchy. Delano sat down with him for an exclusive interview on the country’s evolution, integration and more.
Psaila, who was elected the firm’s managing partner in October 2017 at age 39, joined Deloitte as a junior in 1995. It was through the company that he initially came to Luxembourg the first time in January 1999, when he was sent to the grand duchy for a five-week exchange.
It was an exchange, he says, “which gave me the first taste for the international experience. I then went back home to Malta and was sent for two years to Budapest, Hungary, where I also spent time with Deloitte. At that point I had decided living on an island is not something I want to do any longer as much as living on an island evokes sentiments of sunshine and holidays and decided that it was a good time in my career to move permanently.”
