RSM Malta expands Digital Transformation & AI offering with new director appointment

RSM Malta has appointed Ludwig Micallef as Director for Digital Transformation and AI, further strengthening the firm’s advisory capabilities in technology-enabled business transformation, automation, and artificial intelligence.

The appointment reflects RSM Malta’s continued investment in services that help organisations respond to a rapidly changing business environment. As businesses increasingly look to technology and AI to improve efficiency, strengthen decision-making, and support long-term growth, RSM Malta’s Digital service line is focused on providing practical support that connects technology with real business outcomes.

Ludwig brings nearly two decades of experience in technology, transformation, software engineering, project delivery, and business management across both the public and private sectors. Since beginning his career in software engineering back in 2007, he has progressed through a number of senior leadership roles, leading multidisciplinary teams and supporting organisations with technology strategy, digital transformation, automation, and AI-enabled solutions.

In his new role, Ludwig is leading the continued growth of RSM Malta’s Digital Transformation and AI practice, advising boards and executive teams on technology-enabled business transformation. He is also supporting the development of the firm’s digital transformation strategy, leading complex client engagements, expanding technology and AI-related service offerings, and working closely with the wider RSM international network to strengthen the firm’s capabilities.

Commenting on his appointment, Ludwig Micallef said: “Digital transformation is no longer about implementing technology for its own sake. Organisations today are looking for trusted advisors who can help them translate emerging technologies into measurable business outcomes. That starts with understanding the organisation itself; its priorities, challenges, people, and ambitions. Technology is most effective when it is aligned with real business needs and implemented in a way that creates meaningful and lasting value. My ambition is to further strengthen RSM Malta’s position as a strategic partner that helps organisations improve the way they operate, strengthen decision-making, and create value through technology.

“AI presents one of the greatest opportunities businesses have faced in decades, but success will depend on adopting it responsibly and with a clear business purpose. At RSM Malta, our priority is to help organisations embrace AI as part of their wider digital transformation journey, combining expertise in technology, data, governance, and change management to deliver practical and sustainable business outcomes,” he added.

Karen Spiteri Bailey, Managing Principal at RSM Malta, said: “We are pleased to welcome Ludwig to RSM Malta at a time when digital transformation and AI are becoming central to how organisations plan, operate, and compete. His experience in leading complex transformation programmes, together with his understanding of both technology and business strategy, adds significant depth to our Digital service line.

“At RSM Malta, our focus is on helping clients respond to change with confidence in a way that is practical, responsible, and aligned with their long-term objectives. Ludwig’s appointment strengthens our ability to support business leaders as they consider how technology and AI can create value, improve resilience, and support sustainable growth,” she concluded.

The appointment forms part of RSM Malta’s broader strategy to continue investing in specialist capabilities that help organisations respond to the evolving needs of the market.
