THE VISTAGE STORY IN MALTA

In 2012, Nathan Farrugia wanted to expand his business connections and joined the Academy for Chief Executives, a UK-based peer-to-peer network for CEOS and business leaders. Then the CEO of Inspire, Nathan Farrugia found a kindred spirit in Peter Yeoman, a Gibraltar-based chair and owner of the Vistage Gibraltar branch. Using the lessons learned from Peter Yeoman, and the peer group connections, Nathan Farrugia left Inspire in 2015 to set up his own business, and purchased the Vistage franchise from Peter Yeoman. In 2018, Vistage Worldwide purchased the Academy for Chief Executives in order to increase their global presence. Inspired by the move, Nathan Farrugia rebranded the Vistage franchise and set about increasing its presence in Malta. Since then, membership under his leadership has increased threefold, and the Maltese Vistage community has continued to champion interconnectivity and guidance among CEOs and business leaders.

The Vistage story: 60 years of cultivating success

It started simply enough: Businessman Bob Nourse brought together several Milwaukee-area executives in 1957 to help each other solve their businesses challenges. He made sure they were from non-competing industries and kept conversations confidential. He also brought in business experts to share their insights.
Nourse’s formula spurred such remarkable success that it wasn’t long before his Midwestern business became a thriving international company with 24,000 members in 20 countries.
The past 60 years have seen Vistage grow and evolve to serve our increasingly diverse and sophisticated member businesses. But we always stay true to Bob Nourse’s vision: to help high-integrity leaders make great decisions that benefit their companies, families and communities.
