Basically, I think this number mainly talks about one thing : what does it mean to be a “leader” ? Few people really understand the weight of a company on its shoulders.. It's not just deciding. It's about taking the hits, take risks, reassure the teams, and continue to move forward despite everything. Besides who invented this word : « chef » ? Business manager, head of state, team leader... Perhaps simply someone who understood that beyond power, being a leader means carrying the responsibilities of others before your own. On the cover of this edition, Mohamed El Mazzouji embodies a new generation of leaders who place humanity, education and innovation at the heart of economic development.

With Domissori, the Reunion entrepreneur built, from the island, an impact model now recognized at the national level. His career demonstrates that it is possible to combine ambition, growth and collective utility while radiating well beyond the Reunion Island territory. Another highlight of this issue : the arrival of Thierry Cotillard, expected on October 8 in Reunion. On the occasion of five years of StratCo Run, the president of the Groupement Mousquetaires will come to share his vision of commerce and mass distribution. Artisan of the renewal of Intermarché, he has established himself among the most influential leaders in French retail, notably thanks to the success of the gentle wolf campaign, broadcast at Christmas 2025. Its presence confirms the growing influence of StratCo Run, which has become over the years a strategic meeting place for trade and marketing in the Indian Ocean. We also highlight Alex How-Choong, at the head of Logistisud, in Saint-Pierre. His journey commands respect. Transforming storage into a “goods hotel” was a bold vision. Today, the company continues its growth and demonstrates that in Reunion Island too, ambition retains its place. And then there are all these innovators and their product innovations that bring our sector of activity to life : chocolat, drinks, food, spirits… Fortunately, brands continue to make us dream through their new products ! I also thank the experts, especially national, who enrich our pages each month through their marketing analyzes, artificial intelligence, or the major consumer trends.
To you who undertake, create, direct, sometimes fall, but who do you raise, this number is dedicated to you.
Happy reading everyone !
