Early Life
Anas Sefrioui was born in Fez, Morocco, on May 16, 1957. At a young age, he worked with his father, Haj Abdeslam Sefrioui, gaining business acumen. He dropped out of secondary school to work with his father on a project to create a popular clay for washing, and to accumulate the knowledge and basic business skills needed to run his own enterprises.
Rise to Success
Sefrioui began his venture into real estate in 1988, forming a development group. He earned his first billions in 1995 by building over 2,000 subsidized homes for the Moroccan government. In 2005, he secured a $1 billion contract to build more public housing units, further increasing his wealth. His success in affordable housing has served as a model for real estate development in the United Arab Emirates. Sefrioui was acclaimed as one of the most powerful African business leaders of 2012.
Key Business Strategies
