Abdesslam Bouirig has been appointed as the new CEO of Wafacash, replacing Mouawia Essekelli, who has been assigned to new functions within the Attijariwafa Bank Group.

After several years in consulting in France, Mr. Bouirig, 39, and a graduate of a business school, returned to Morocco and joined an international banking group where he spent over 11 years in various roles before being appointed Executive Director in charge of specialized businesses and synergies, according to a statement from Wafacash sent to MAP on Wednesday.

In his new role, his goal will be to deploy the 20-25 strategic plan developed as part of the Attijariwafa Bank Group’s “Ambitions 2025” strategy, the same source noted.

He will need to further consolidate Wafacash’s already strong international presence, which is supported by a pronounced local footprint, making it a major player in social, economic, and financial inclusion in Morocco.
