WomanRising, Ghana’s leading network of Women Entrepreneurs
& Business Leaders and a flagship project of The African Network
of Entrepreneurs (TANOE) has released another comprehensive & inspiring
list of the Top 50 Women Corporate Leaders in Ghana following their
earlier list of the 100 Most Outstanding Women Entrepreneurs in Ghana
to mark a year anniversary of their launch.
The list, which is NOT a ranking; features 50 leading
corporate women from various business sectors including but not limited
to Banking, Investments, Media, Telecommunications, Insurance, Local
and International NGOs. It is aimed at recognizing the outstanding achievements
of women in the development of the Ghanaian economy and inspiring the
next generation of globally minded women business leaders.
In his statement, Ekow Mensah, the CEO of TANOE,
expressed his excitement at the release of the list which he believes
will serve as a catalyst for the rapid development of more women leaders
in Corporate Ghana. With the tough competition women generally face
in their quest to climb the corporate ladder and in their mission to
transform businesses; it is refreshing and inspiring to know that these
top 50 women against all odds have risen to the pinnacle of their careers
serving as role models for other women; he added.
