Mehdi Mahjoub, director general of Alpha Hyundai Motor and Hyundai's representative in Tunisia, was named one of Forbes Africa's Managers of the Year for 2026. The business publication selected him in a category recognizing leaders who strengthen their companies and support economic activity across Africa. Mahjoub leads the car manufacturer's operation in Tunisia and represents Hyundai in that market. He said the recognition goes beyond a personal achievement and gives credit to the wider team behind him. The distinction places the Tunisian executive among the African corporate leaders selected by Forbes Africa for 2026. The report did not provide the full list of honorees or explain how the selection was judged. It also did not say whether Mahjoub received any new duties as a result of the award.
