Mohamed Mezghani, current Deputy Secretary General, has just been appointed the next Secretary General of UITP starting from January 2018. He will be succeeding Alain Flausch, who will retire after having been at the head of the association for the past six years.
With more than 25 years of experience in the public transport sector, including 18 years at UITP, Mr. Mezghani will use his background and leadership to further expand UITP`s activities.
At UITP, Mohamed has held many positions, from senior manager and director of the Knowledge and Membership department to Adviser to the Secretary General and more recently Deputy Secretary General. He set up the Centre for Training back in 2012, was responsible for the extensive development of the MENA office’s activities while he worked from Dubai for 4 years, and drastically changed the approach to the creation of content within the organisation.
The transition between the current Secretary General and his deputy is meant to happen smoothly as Flausch will remain as advisor until the spring of 2018. Mohamed will continue the excellent work done by Flausch, whose legacy will reach beyond the walls of UITP to all of the public transport sector.
