IMBA Batch 2019

Tell us about yourself, your family and your interests.

I have a wife and five kids, four girls and a boy. I have another adopted child. In addition, three house-helps and two other family members stay with me. I love to do business and my motivation is to help provide jobs for the many young, unemployed people.

How have the current global challenges affected your work/industry and what precautions/corrective measures have you taken?

The current global challenges have severely impacted our business. We have taken measures to have more “Digital Presence” in order to serve customers to the best of our ability.

Do you have any message for young people who are at the beginning of their career?

The first step to becoming successful in the field you have chosen is to be knowledgeable. Therefore, young people should strive to acquire knowledge and understanding.

How do you think digitization is going to influence your work/industry?

I believe that even after Covid-19 ceases to be a menace, digitization will be the trend and so all businesses must position themselves for their survival.

Do you think it is important to have a sustainability strategy for your work/business? If yes, what initiatives have you adopted?

Yes, it is important to have a sustainable strategy. I am gradually digitizing most of the processes at the workplace.

Does the course you are studying at Athena helping you to achieve your goals? Does it have a direct impact on the business or job you do? If yes, please elaborate.

Yes, the course has had a direct impact on my business. For example, it has taught me to adopt many sustainability measures like sending reports by WhatsApp/email instead of printing on paper.

What are your future plans relating to your career/business?

After completing Master of International Business Administration( IMBA), I intend to top up with Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) aimed at broadening my knowledge further in order to build more businesses that will be internationally known and go beyond the borders of Ghana.
