The CEO of SES HD Plus Ghana Limited, Theodore Asampong, has talked about how a minor mistake shattered his dream of becoming a pilot.

He disclosed that he wanted to enrol with the Royal Airforce to become a pilot because he always dreamt of flying a plane.

According to him, after bagging himself Second Class honours in Physics at the Imperial College in London, he decided to get into what he thought was his dream.

“So, I went in there, went through some tests and passed them, but when it came to the medicals, they found out that I didn’t have 2020 vision,” he disclosed in an interview on the Y-Leaderboard Series on YFM.

He explained that to work in the Airforce as a pilot; one must have a 2020 vision; however, the test proved his vision was not the best.

It meant he could not fly a plane, and his dream was shattered for good.

Looking on the brighter side, he still had the chance to work as a grounds crew, but that was not the ambition, so he decided to take a course in spacecraft technology and satellite communication.

“I applied to do the MSc in Spacecraft Technology at UCL, and I got a fantastic scholarship to do that course, and it turned out well in the end,” he said.

Theodore Asampong is now the CEO of SES HD Plus GH Ltd, the country's premium high-definition satellite broadcast service provider.

SES HD Plus Ghana Limited is a subsidiary of SES, a leading global satellite operator with a fleet of over 70 satellites.
