Kwabena Boamah appointed Board Chair for Impact Investing Ghana

Impact Investing Ghana has announced a leadership transition, appointing Kwabena Boamah as the new Board Chair. Boamah brings over 25 years of experience in asset management, pensions, and investment management to the role. He succeeds Alex Asiedu, who completed his seven-year tenure as inaugural chair. Boamah currently leads Stanbic Investment Management Services Ltd, a prominent pension and asset management firm in Ghana, managing over $1.5 billion in assets.

As the Board Chair, Boamah joins IIGh during a critical period as the organization expands its mission to deepen impact investing and mobilize more domestic capital for sustainable development in Ghana and Africa. Boamah chairs the Fund Managers & Investment Advisors Committee of the Ghana Securities Industry Association and has extensive governance experience, including serving on the board of Oasis Africa VC Fund Limited.

His focus on sustainable investments and unlocking pension assets in Africa has been widely recognized. During Asiedu's time as Chair, IIGh transitioned from an emerging platform to a credible force for impact investing in Ghana and Africa, expanding its work in research, advocacy, convening, and capital mobilization. Boamah will build upon the strong foundation established by Asiedu, leveraging his industry expertise and strategic insights to further the organization's growth and transformation.
