Hassan Dakhlallah

Hassan Dakhlallah has carved out a distinguished career in infrastructure development, using his expertise to create lasting change across Africa. As the founder and CEO of PORTEO Group, he has been at the helm of a company that has grown to become a significant player in the construction industry, making substantial contributions to the region’s urban development. His leadership and vision have reshaped infrastructure across West and Central Africa, focusing on long-term economic sustainability and community development. Dakhlallah’s journey began in 2012 with the founding of NSE.CI (Nicolas Srouji Establishment Côte d'Ivoire), a company born out of the need to address infrastructure deficits in a post-crisis Côte d'Ivoire. Recognizing the need for specialized construction and civil works expertise, he guided the company through the challenges of rebuilding the country’s infrastructure. Over time, the company gained a strong reputation for its reliability and efficiency, leading to its rebranding as PORTEO Group in 2020. The transition marked the company’s expansion into new regions, including Bénin, Togo, Senegal, and Gabon, broadening its reach and impact. Since its inception, PORTEO has constructed over 2,000 kilometers of roads and highways, significantly improving transportation networks across West and Central Africa. These infrastructure projects have connected previously isolated communities, opening access to new economic opportunities, services, and markets. Dakhlallah’s approach to infrastructure is not just about constructing roads; it’s about building pathways to prosperity for local populations. The company’s work has transformed how communities access vital resources, allowing businesses to grow and residents to thrive. In addition to physical infrastructure, Dakhlallah has strongly emphasized creating economic opportunities for the regions where PORTEO operates. The company employs over 4,000 people directly, and thousands more work through subcontracting and partnerships with local businesses. This job creation has played a key role in reducing unemployment and providing financial stability for families in the areas surrounding the projects. In 2023, PORTEO’s revenue reached approximately €436 million (285 billion CFA francs), reflecting its substantial growth and integral role in the region’s economy. Dakhlallah is committed to integrating sustainability into every aspect of his company’s operations. He prioritizes using eco-friendly materials and construction methods that minimize the environmental impact of infrastructure projects. The company’s investment in modern technology and sustainable practices ensures that PORTEO continues to meet the region's evolving needs while focusing on environmental responsibility. Beyond the business, Dakhlallah’s philanthropic work through the PORTEO Foundation is a testament to his belief in giving back to the communities he serves. The foundation supports initiatives focused on education, women’s empowerment, and community nutrition. One of its flagship projects is the establishment of self-sustaining school canteens, which provide nutritious meals to students while fostering educational opportunities and promoting women’s leadership. Hassan Dakhlallah’s leadership of PORTEO Group has been transformative for the infrastructure landscape of West and Central Africa. His focus on building roads and lasting economic opportunities has positioned him as a key figure in African development. Through his work, he continues to make significant contributions to the region, proving that infrastructure can be both a catalyst for economic growth and a powerful tool for improving lives.
