IRF chose the International Transport Forum Summit (ITF 2022), hosted in Leipzig, to mark the start of the IRF Presidency of Anouar Benazzouz. Succeeding Bill Halkias who has concluded his three-year mandate at the helm of IRF, Benazzouz was elected unanimously as IRF president by the General Assembly on 29 March 2022 in Amsterdam. "It gives me pride to end my mandate knowing there's a great team aligned to pick up this work and move it forward" commented Halkias in passing over the presidency. Anouar Benazzouz is the director general of Moroccan Highways (Autoroutes du Maroc) and the first African president taking the helm of IRF. With engineering studies from top colleges in Paris and London, Benazzouz started his career in engineering and later occupied different management positions in Casablanca, London, Singapore and Egypt. He also served as general manager of Savola Morocco and as chief of cabinet for the minister of Equipment and Transport of Morocco, just before his current position as general manager of Moroccan Highways. |
