Fahd Mokdad Takes Helm at Allianz Maroc as New Director General
Doha – Allianz Maroc announced a major leadership change this week. Fahd Mokdad has been appointed Director General of the insurance company, effective May 29. He succeeds Abderrahim Dbich, who decided to pursue new opportunities outside the SanlamAllianz Group.
Mokdad joined Allianz Maroc in 2013 as Head of Bancassurance. He later held several key positions within the company and across the African region. From December 2017 to April 2024, he served as Head of Bancassurance in Africa. Most recently, since March 2022, he worked as Director of Distribution and Partnerships at Allianz Maroc.
The new Director General brings 25 years of experience in the banking and insurance sectors. Before joining Allianz, Mokdad worked at Credit du Maroc from 2004 to 2013. He held positions as Head of Sales/Branches from 2011 to 2013 and Head of Marketing and Products Development for the Retail Market from 2004 to 2011.
His earlier career included roles at Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance as Marketing Manager for consumer credits from 2002 to 2004 and at BNP Paribas from 2000 to 2002, where he was responsible for retail marketing and development for the diaspora at BMCI.
'Fahd will continue to drive the Company's development while ensuring superior service quality for our policyholders and partners,' stated Allianz Maroc in their announcement.

Mokdad holds a Master's degree in International Development from the Centre d'Etudes Supérieures du Commerce International (CESCI) and a Master's degree in Marketing from the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce et de Marketing (ISTEC) in Paris, France, both obtained in 2000-2001.
In his new role, Mokdad will focus on furthering Allianz Maroc's growth trajectory. The leadership transition marks a new chapter for Allianz Maroc, focused on innovation, customer proximity, and strengthening its presence in the national insurance landscape.
Allianz Maroc acknowledged Dbich's contributions during his tenure, noting that his leadership and commitment helped accelerate the company's growth, consolidate its market position, and strengthen its resilience in the face of industry changes.
The insurance firm has operated in Morocco for over 70 years. Since 2016, it has evolved under the Allianz banner, a global insurance leader with more than a century of presence in Africa.
In 2023, the company became a subsidiary of SanlamAllianz joint venture, a major non-banking financial services provider operating in 27 African countries. Allianz Maroc now has 240+ well-trained General Agents and Direct Offices serving demanding individual and corporate clients. Tags: allianzinsurance industry
