Breast cancer: key figures, awareness and prevention
Olivier Dubois, Chairman, OLEA
I'm pleased to inform you of several important updates in the Group.
Firstly, we continue to strengthen our teams so they can support the dynamic growth of our activities across the Continent. The expertise and talent of our people are the pillars of our success. It is in this context that I am pleased to announce several internal appointments.
Mélina Assélé Diouf Nkombe has been promoted to Deputy Managing Director of OLEA, Gabon in 2023. Mélina joined OLEA Gabon in 2018 as Technical Co-ordinator, after a rich career with AXA France and various insurers and brokers in Gabon. Her solid experience makes her a key asset for our growth in the region.
Grâce Amoikon has been Deputy Managing Director of OLEA Côte d'Ivoire since July 2024. With more than 15 years' insurance experience in France and Côte d'Ivoire, Grâce has risen through the ranks within OLEA, successively holding the positions of Technical Manager and then Technical and Claims Director.
Albert Sagna has also been appointed Deputy Managing Director of OLEA, Senegal since August 2024. A recognised expert on the Senegalese market, Albert joined OLEA in 2018, following the takeover of a local broker. As Technical Director since 2019, he has played a crucial role in the development strategy. Today, he supports Maurice Bouzemarène, former Managing Director of OLEA, Cameroon who is now Managing Director of OLEA, Senegal, in his new role.
Cédric de Zélicourt, former Managing Director of OLEA Senegal, has been appointed Deputy Group Sales Director. Based in Paris, he will be responsible for developing the Groups’ new business.
Ghita Benyoussef was appointed Managing Director of OLEA Morocco in September 2024. Ghita joined OLEA Maroc in 2019 as Production Manager and Key Account Manager, before becoming Customer Director in 2022.
Paul Le Pêcheur, formerly Managing Director of OLEA Morocco, has been managing the Mozambique subsidiary since September 2024.
Finally, I would like to welcome Fayez Samb who joined the Group in September 2024 as Managing Director of OLEA, Cameroon. Fayez has over 25 years' experience in the insurance industry and has held positions of responsibility in France, Cameroon, Mali and Senegal. His experience and knowledge will be a real asset in the development of our activities in Cameroon.
As well as these internal changes, I would like to highlight the commitment of our subsidiaries to our CSR project, OLEA Impact. To mark Pink October, a month dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer, our subsidiaries joined forces with healthcare partners to organise local screening and awareness campaigns.
These announcements and initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting our employees in their professional development and making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate. Together, we will continue to build a strong, positive and enlightened Group.
