THE PERSON
BEHIND THE WORK
The early days.
Childhood
Eman grew up in Malta, the middle of three siblings, in a family with no business background. Sport, fishing and catechism shaped his adolescence.
Adolescence
He trained as a teacher, earning a Bachelor of Education with first-class honours from the University of Malta, and later a Master of Arts in Diplomatic Studies and a second Master of Arts in Creativity and Innovation.
Early 20s
Eman was an athlete too: a triple jumper with a student-athlete scholarship at George Mason University in the United States and a Malta national athlete, representing the country at the Games of the Small States of Europe.
Early 30s
The following decade saw Eman go through a number of failed startups in the US and in Malta, each of which made him more resilient and led him back to his roots: events. That's when he founded SiGMA, the Summit of iGaming in Malta. Jackpot at last!
40s
Today Eman's business conglomerate employs an 800-strong workforce across eight offices. Eman is married to Lena, has two daughters, Mila and Vera, and enjoys a balanced life in Limassol, Cyprus. He's an avid follower of longevity, golf and travel.
