Karima Boutaleb Email & Phone Number

I am the Co-CEO of Mefelec Group, a family venture that started its journey in 1975, building its way through the electrical sector in Morocco, from initial project studies to the delivery of the electrical solutions. My contribution to the group since 2015 has been to open to other strategic markets, such as the African continent, that constitutes a tremendous potential for a Moroccan SME.My dedication to export our know-how and adapt it to the African market has been supported by my absolute passion for traveling and discovering other cultures.Parallelly, I am in the process of creating a business dedicated to environmental solutions, with renewable energy, working towards promoting and embedding the UN Sustainable development goals. From corporates to individuals, I believe in empowering people to make an impact through the SDGs.I am passionate about empowering women to unlock their energy and potential through mentoring and capacity building, to catalyze and lead social and economic improvement impacting positively their ecosystems. I am keen on not limiting myself to the Moroccan environment and I am already in contact with women cooperatives in sub-Saharan countries to build partnerships and exchange experience, as I am finalizing the creation of the Association that will withhold our efforts to make women’s voice heard.I bring insights from my certificate in Business and Corporate Strategy form HEC Paris that completed my initial academic curriculum as an Engineer, graduated in 2006 from Institut Supérieur d’Électronique de Paris. Lately, I started a Master of Science in Geopolitics and GeoEconomy in the Emergent Africa with HEC Paris and UM6P, in which I chose to tackle the passionate thesis subject of “How Empowering Women in Sub-Saharan Countries Will Contribute to Their Development”.I consider myself as a generous and compassionate person and I am devoted since my early age to dedicate some of my time and energy to the kind purpose of making an impact for women equality by educating and inspiring. I have thus been part of several associations such as “La Transsaharienne”- Paris, “Lions Club Les Oliviers” – Marrakesh and AESG – Marrakesh.2021 has been the year of my introduction to the Moroccan political scene as I have been elected to be part of “The Chamber of Commerce and Industry” of Marrakech and Safi region, which will enable me to lead significant projects to help the region thrive through the successful implication of women in these endeavors.I am married and mom of two children Soraya (11years old) and Ilyes (6years old).
