Executive Outplacement Support During Restructuring

As part of a strategic reorganisation of its support functions, an international automotive company adjusted its management structure in Morocco. This operation, motivated by the need for simplification and alignment with the group's strategy, led to the departure of a member of the local executive committee, occupying a key position.

To ensure that the support provided was commensurate with the responsibilities held, the company entrusted Xpertize Africa with the task of overseeing this employee's professional transition. The aim was to provide him with a structured, confidential and effective framework to prepare for the next stage of his career, in a demanding professional environment.

This type of support has a dual purpose: not only does it support the rapid repositioning of a high value-added profile, but it also preserves the company's managerial consistency and reputation, both internally and with its partners.

Supporting an executive through a career transition requires a highly tailored approach that balances confidentiality, sector expertise, and the ability to address both strategic and personal dimensions. In this case, Xpertize delivered a focused two-month program designed to meet high standards of responsiveness, flexibility, and individualized support.

From the outset, a clear framework was established with the executive to define key priorities for the process. This initial phase was essential to structure the work around three core objectives: clarifying the candidate’s positioning, broadening the scope of potential opportunities, and optimizing the tools and strategies for professional visibility.

To provide a realistic perspective on market positioning, Xpertize conducted a targeted salary benchmark, covering compensation trends for comparable executive roles in the relevant sector — both within Morocco and across international mobility zones. This benchmark served as a foundation for setting expectations, refining positioning, and preparing for high-stakes negotiations.

The core of the program involved frequent one-on-one coaching sessions focused on reviewing the candidate’s career narrative, highlighting achievements, refining the professional project, and preparing for executive-level interviews. Particular emphasis was placed on leadership posture, strategic storytelling, and the ability to engage with boards or executive search professionals with clarity and confidence.

In parallel, Xpertize activated its network of senior-level recruiters and corporate partners to identify relevant opportunities. Discreet outreach efforts were initiated with search firms, governance advisors, and C-level hiring stakeholders. The entire process was managed with a high degree of proximity, including weekly check-ins and continuous adjustments based on market feedback.

This integrated, confidential, and results-oriented approach ensured a high-quality experience aligned with the expectations and professional standards required for an executive-level transition.
