Maroc Telecom Unifies Governance Structure to Boost Strategic Agility
Rabat – Maroc Telecom has officially transitioned to a unified governance model, replacing its previous dual structure with a streamlined Board of Directors, as approved during the company's Extraordinary General Assembly on June 18, 2025.
The move, announced following a board meeting held on Thursday, is aimed at enhancing decision-making efficiency and aligning with the company 's accelerated strategic development goals.
The change marks the end of the dual governance framework composed of a Supervisory Board and Executive Board, now merged into a single governing body. All former members of the supervisory board have been retained as board members, ensuring leadership continuity and a smooth transition in the group's strategic oversight.
Mohamed Benchaâboun has been confirmed as the new CEO of Maroc Telecom, a role he previously held as Chairman of the Executive Board. His leadership comes at a time of major transformation for the telecommunications giant, which continues to expand its digital footprint and invest in innovation across Morocco and its African subsidiaries.
Earlier this year, in February, Benchaâboun was appointed to lead the group following the end of Abdeslam Ahizoune's 27-year tenure at the head of Maroc Telecom. The appointment, backed by Finance Minister Nadia Fettah and the supervisory board, is effective until March 1, 2027.
This governance shift reflects Maroc Telecom's ongoing commitment to transparency, performance, and value creation for its shareholders, partners, and customers, as it adapts to a rapidly evolving telecom landscape. Tags: benchaaboun profileIAMMaroc Telecom
