Ghana’s leading business magazine, Business World Ghana has released its latest 20 under 40 list; an annual list that compiles 20 most influential business people less than 40 years of age
The list, published in its 40th issue with the headline ‘Ghana’s 20 under 40 Influential Business Leaders’ is the second edition which seeks to celebrate the achievements of Ghana’s finest young people, in their chosen endeavours and their contributions towards the future of Ghana.
Speaking on the rationale behind the list, Editor of the Business World Magazine, Emmanuel Kwablah, said, “The List recognizes not only commercial drive and personal determination, but also the disruptive nature of their activities and their challenge of the status quo in the industries they operate.”
Finalist would be honored for their outstanding contribution towards Ghana’s development at a special award ceremony-Ghana’s 20 under 40 Awards- in Accra
Individuals who made the list were selected from an extensive list of nominations received during a four week online nomination on businessworldghana.com
The list includes a mix of CEOs, entrepreneurs, techies, creatives and politicos. This year six women made the list up from four in the previous edition
Those who made the list include; the MD/Country Manager of Metropolitan insurance, Tawiah Ben-Ahmed, Philip Oti-Mensah MD of Omnibank, the COO of uniBank Ghana, Kwabena Duffour Jnr., Andrew Ackah CEO of Dentsu Network Ghana, Ebenezer Saka-Mensah, CEO and founder of SAKA Homes, Marcia Ashong, CEO of Brace Energy Group, Nana Kwame Bediako, Founder/CEO of Wonda World Estates and Deputy chief of staff, Francis Asenso Boakye among others.
