OCP Africa appoints Hajar Alafifi as new CEO to drive expansion

OCP Africa has appointed Hajar Alafifi as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1. The decision reflects the OCP Group’s ambition to accelerate the growth of its African subsidiary and reinforce its footprint across the continent.

Alafifi brings more than two decades of experience gained within a Fortune 500 multinational, where she held senior leadership roles spanning multiple countries. She is widely recognized for her expertise in corporate management, large-scale business transformation, and ESG initiatives—areas that have become increasingly central to OCP Africa’s strategy.

The board also expressed its appreciation to Mohamed Hettiti, who had been serving as interim head in recent months, ensuring smooth continuity of operations during the transition.
