TotalEnergies Marketing Madagascar Announces New Leadership
TotalEnergies Marketing Madagascar has announced the appointment of Khedija Ben Othman as its new head, replacing Marieme Sav Sow, who held the position for several years. Originally from Tunisia, Khedija Ben Othman previously held regional responsibilities within the group, notably as Deputy Vice President for the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean.
Context of the Appointment
This change occurs in a context marked by challenges in hydrocarbon supply and energy transition issues in Madagascar. Under the direction of Marieme Sav Sow, the local subsidiary distinguished itself through actions in road safety and social responsibility, while strengthening its relationships with Malagasy authorities.
Significance of the Appointment
The appointment of an experienced leader from TotalEnergies' international network reflects the group's desire to consolidate its presence in the Malagasy market, while pursuing its commitments to modernizing infrastructure and diversifying energy sources. It also fits into a broader dynamic of promoting female leadership in the sector, which is still largely dominated by men.
