Nine Moroccans are among the 100 African economic leaders for tomorrow, according to the Choiseul Africa 2020 ranking, revealed on Monday by Paris-based think tank Choiseul Institute.
The Choiseul 100 Africa - Economic Leaders for Tomorrow is an annual independent study conducted by the Choiseul Institute. It identifies and ranks young African leaders aged 40 or under who are playing or are expected to play a major role in the economic development of the continent in the near future.
As a result of work conducted over several months, the Choiseul Institute has called on many experts and specialists in the continent to carry out this ambitious and unique study that takes stock of the driving forces of the African economy.
In order to rank the profiles selected, several criteria were taken into account such as: image and reputation, background and skills, power and function, influence and networks, potential and leadership. The sum of the points obtained in the different categories of these criteria determines the place of each of the winners in the final ranking.
Profiles scoring less than 10% in any of the categories are eliminated. The first 100 are ranked from 1st to 100th place. A second list includes 100 additional profiles ranked between 101st and 200th place in three categories: three stars, two stars and one star.
The study, which ended on September 30, 2020, selected a total of 17 Moroccans among the 200 profiles identified, including four women and 13 men. Furthermore, nine Moroccans were selected among the top 100 African economic leaders for tomorrow, one of whom is a woman.
They are Badr Alioua, Chief Executive Officer of Wafasalaf (8th place); Marouane Ameziane, Executive Vice President for Strategy and Corporate Development of OCP Group (19th); Abdellatif Kabbaj, Managing Director of Softgroup (26th); Saad Sefrioui, Deputy Managing Director of Addoha Group (28th); Sarah Kerroumi, Secretary-General of Ynna Holding (36th); Ibrahim Belkora, Managing of Agro Juice Processing (51st); Mehdi Alj, Chief Executive Officer of Sanam Agro (66th); Mehdi Bennouna, Managing Director of Mutandis Group (78th); and Naoufel Ghafir, Chief Executive Officer of Morocco, Tunisia, West Africa AXA Partners (79th).
The second list of 100 additional profiles includes eight more Moroccans, including three women.
