Allianz Maroc announces management change

Casablanca, December 11, 2017 – Dirk De Nil, CEO of Allianz Morocco has decided to step down from his current role for personal reasons on 7 December 2017. Coenraad Vrolijk, will assume the role of Interim CEO of Allianz Morocco, in addition to his current responsibilities as Regional CEO Africa of Allianz.

With over 25 years of insurance experience, Dirk De Nil came to Morocco in 2014 to lead Zurich Assurances Maroc until the company was acquired by Allianz last year and he was offered to become CEO of the rebranded Allianz Maroc.

“Dirk has done an outstanding job at the helm of Allianz Maroc. His leadership was instrumental during the integration phase of the company into Allianz,” said Coenraad Vrolijk. “I would like to thank him personally for making such a smooth transition possible. And I wish him and his wife all the best for the future.”

The recruitment for Dirk De Nil’s successor is going on. Allianz will announce the succession decision in due course.
