Telecel Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing women in leadership, with External Affairs Director Komla Buami joining a distinguished panel at the 10th anniversary edition of the Executive Women's Network (EWN). EWN is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and supporting women holding senior management and executive positions in Ghana. The event, themed "A Decade of Leadership, A Future Toward Holistic Impact," brought together policymakers, executives, and entrepreneurs from across the continent.
The Executive Women's Network was founded by visionary female leaders to advance women's leadership across Africa by providing platforms for mentorship, career development, and professional connection. The 10th anniversary conference featured key panel conversations and exhibitions structured around three primary pillars: Self & Family, Career, and Legacy. This milestone event brought together accomplished leaders from across industries to reflect on progress made over the past decade and explore practical strategies for accelerating gender equity in leadership.
The panel discussion, themed "Beyond Good Intentions: What Moves and Sustains Women in Leadership," featured Komla Buami alongside Sheila Minka-Premo and Mavis Owusu-Gyamfi. The discussion was moderated by celebrated broadcaster Bernard Avle. During the discussion, Komla Buami emphasised that sustainable progress for women in leadership requires organisations to move beyond one-off initiatives and make gender inclusion a core business priority.
Komla Buami noted that women's advancement should be embedded in organisational systems and processes rather than relying on individual champions. He highlighted the importance of creating consistent pathways for women to grow and thrive within the workplace, citing Telecel Ghana's initiatives as examples. These initiatives include targets for female representation, the Female Engineering Student Scholarship Programme (FESSP), and the Telecel Reconnect Programme.
Telecel Ghana's participation in the EWN anniversary event reflects the company's commitment to creating a more inclusive workplace where talent can flourish irrespective of gender. By investing in initiatives that support career development, succession planning, and workforce re-entry, the company continues to help build a leadership landscape that is both diverse and sustainable.
The Executive Women's Network marks a decade of championing women's leadership, and conversations such as these reinforce the importance of moving beyond good intentions to implement practical, lasting measures that enable more women to lead, succeed, and inspire the next generation. Telecel Ghana's commitment to sustainable pathways for women in leadership is part of its broader efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.
Telecel Ghana's initiatives to support women's career progression and facilitate their return to the workforce after career breaks are part of its efforts to create a more inclusive workplace. The company's participation in events such as the EWN anniversary conference demonstrates its commitment to building a leadership landscape that is both diverse and sustainable.
