ACCESS BANK MD INSPIRES WOMEN LEADERS AT STANDOUT EXECUTIVE BREAKFAST

Access Bank (Ghana) Plc has reaffirmed its leadership in advancing gender inclusion and executive development, following a strong turnout at the StandOut Executive Women Leaders Breakfast held in Accra.

The high-impact event, hosted by Leading Ladies Network in partnership with HQ Consulting Ltd at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, brought together a curated group of senior and emerging women leaders under the theme “REACH for Change.”

Delivering a compelling address, Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana, Pearl Nkrumah, challenged participants to move beyond competence and intentionally position themselves for influence and leadership.

“The question is no longer whether women are capable of leading, it is whether we are prepared to step forward, own our value, and lead with clarity and confidence. Real change begins when we make that decision,” she stated.

Drawing from her extensive leadership experience across global banking institutions, Ms. Nkrumah shared practical insights on navigating corporate leadership, building resilience, and making bold career decisions in complex environments.
