Fronditha Care this week announced the appointment of Faye Spiteri (Tsolakis) as CEO following the recent resignation of Michael Malakonas.
Fronditha Care President and Board Chair, Jill Taylor (Nikitakis) said, “Faye is an exceptional leader who brings very relevant and diverse skills and experience to the role.
