Hassan Laaziri Elected President of the Moroccan Association of Capital Investors

In a significant development for the Moroccan investment landscape, the Moroccan Association of Capital Investors (AMIC) has appointed a new Board of Directors (CA) that unanimously elected Hassan Laaziri as its president, succeeding Hatim Ben Ahmed. This appointment marks a pivotal moment for the organization as it navigates the dynamic realm of capital investment in Morocco.

Hassan Laaziri, the newly elected president, brings a wealth of experience to the role. As the CEO and Managing Director of CDG Invest Growth, Laaziri's career has been deeply rooted in the industrial sector. He joined CDG Invest Growth in 2001 and played a pivotal role in the creation and launch of the company, which today manages over $400 million in funds under management.

With over 25 years of experience in the private equity sector in Morocco, Laaziri's expertise extends beyond his leadership at CDG Invest Growth. He serves as a board member for several companies across various industries, further solidifying his reputation as a seasoned investment professional.

Laaziri will be supported in his mission by a newly formed executive committee tasked with defining and overseeing the implementation of strategic choices. This committee comprises a vice president, Tarik Haddi, Director and CEO of Azur Innovation Management, and a treasurer, Khaoula Ramdi, Managing Director at Upline Investments.

The AMIC's new Board of Directors features four additional members: Nabil Hayat, Board Member at Attijari Capital Management; Meriem Zairi, Managing Partner at EmergingTech Ventures; Hatim Ben Ahmed, Managing Partner at Mediterrania Capital Partners; and Omar Bekkali, Partner at Private Equity Initiatives.

Complementing the board's composition are two observers: Bassim Jaï Hokimi, Chairman and CEO of Atlamed Capital, and Mohammed Nasset, Managing Director of Red Med Capital Private Equity.

As the newly elected president, Laaziri envisions continuing AMIC's efforts, which have supported over 280 companies and raised nearly 27.8 billion dirhams (MMDH) to finance enterprises and infrastructure projects. These efforts have positively impacted both growth and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) aspects.

With Laaziri's leadership and the collective expertise of the new Board of Directors, AMIC is poised to embark on a new chapter, further solidifying its position as a driving force in the Moroccan capital investment landscape. As the organization navigates the complexities of the investment world, its commitment to supporting businesses, fostering growth, and promoting sustainable practices will undoubtedly shape the future of the Moroccan economy.
