The CEO of Reroy Cables, Kate Quartey Papafio was also adjudged the Marketing Woman whilst the Head of Marketing and Communications at Stanbic Bank, Mawuko Afadzinu emerged the Marketing Practitioner of the year.

Speaking to Joy Business, the Marketing Man of the year, Edward Effah said entrepreneurship should be the engine of growth for the Ghanaian economy.

“We need to develop entrepreneurs. The only real jobs which are created in Ghana are private sector jobs, which pay taxes, which are sustainable and we need to promote, develop and get as many SMEs as possible up and running because that is the only way we can grow the economy in my opinion.”
