Olivier Gillibert is returning to Deloitte, where he began his career, to take up a senior role in the firm’s business in Morocco. Deloitte announced on 10 November that Gillibert had been appointed Partner in its Advisory practice. He will help the firm expand its work with public institutions, state-owned companies and financial services businesses.
His new role will focus on major infrastructure projects, business strategy, digital transformation and the use of artificial intelligence.
Gillibert has more than 20 years of experience in consulting and business transformation. He has lived and worked in Morocco since 2006 and held senior positions at EY Advisory, Monitor Deloitte and Roland Berger in Casablanca.
He began his career at Deloitte in Paris, working in financial services. His experience also includes projects in Gabon, Tunisia, Mauritania, Ivory Coast and Benin.
Rédouane Bellefqih, managing director of Deloitte in Morocco, said the appointment came at a time of growing investment and major economic changes in the country.
“Morocco is experiencing an unprecedented investment dynamic, driven by the transformation of public enterprises, major infrastructure projects, and the perspective of 2030,” he said.
Bellefqih added that Gillibert’s knowledge of the local economy and experience working with public and private institutions would strengthen the firm’s advisory business.
Deloitte wants to become a leading advisory firm in the country, he said.
Gillibert said he was pleased to return to a company whose values he shared.
“I am pleased to rejoin Deloitte, a firm I know well and whose values I share. The firm combines a reference brand in Morocco, solid teams, and the strength of a global network,” he said.
“My ambition is to put these assets at the service of the Kingdom’s major transformations alongside the existing teams, contributing to making Deloitte an indispensable partner for public and private decision-makers in Morocco and Francophone Africa.”
Gillibert holds an engineering degree from ESTP and a specialised master’s degree from HEC Paris.
His appointment comes as the country prepares for major infrastructure and investment projects ahead of 2030. These include developments linked to transport, energy, water management and digital infrastructure, as well as preparations to co-host the FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal.
Deloitte Francophone Africa has 1,400 professionals working across nine offices in 19 countries. This means the firm has an average of about 156 professionals per office across its regional network.
