He managed internal and external training initiatives, speaking at seminars and conferences for the institutional and academic world.

In 2019 he was responsible for establishing and implementing a project by the ECB aimed to provide advice to the Maltese Supervisory Authority (MFSA), for the purpose of contributing to strengthen on-site supervision in that country.
