The Energy Commission has announced the appointment of Adwoa Serwa Bondzie as its Acting Executive Secretary.

She takes over from Ing. Mrs Eunice Biritwum, who is suspected to have been forced out ahead of her retirement this year.

Ms Bondzie is an executive leader with over 15 years of experience in business development, energy transition and strategic management. Recognised for driving innovation and sustainability, she has led initiatives that positioned organisations as industry leaders and improved public service delivery. Her ability to connect technical and commercial functions has consistently advanced operational excellence, profitability and long-term value.

At the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST), she pioneered the company’s first Trading Desk, designing a fuel trading system that generated $20 million in profit within two years and set a new benchmark for operational efficiency. She also led the expansion of Ghana’s strategic petroleum reserves from four to 12 weeks between 2014 and 2016, strengthening national energy security and earning the BOST Leadership and Dedication Award in 2015.

Earlier in her career, she managed multi-million-dollar engineering projects for TechInsights Canada, delivering them on time and to high-quality standards for international clients.

Ms Bondzie holds an MSc in Public Policy from the University of Bath, an MBA in International Business and Strategy from Henley Business School, a BSc in Information and Communication Technology from GIMPA, and a Graduate Diploma in Project Management from Algonquin College. She combines strong academic credentials with practical leadership experience.

Committed to sustainable energy solutions, she aligns corporate strategy with national development goals to promote economic growth and environmental benefits. She is also dedicated to mentoring future leaders, coaching young professionals, advocating for women’s advancement in technology and energy, and supporting sustainable development initiatives.

The Energy Commission has urged all partners and stakeholders to extend their full support and courtesy to the new Acting Executive Secretary to ensure a successful tenure.
