Executive Chairman of the Ghana Community Network Services Limited (GCNet), Dr Nortey Omaboe, has been adjudged the Best ICT and Trade Facilitation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the 8th Ghana Entrepreneurs and Corporate Executive Awards held in Accra.
The Ghana Entrepreneur & Executive Awards (GECE) is an exclusive award which focuses on recognizing outstanding entrepreneurs and corporate executives, who have positively impacted the economy of Ghana.
Organised by the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Ghana (efg), the GECE is held in collaboration with the Ministries of Trade and Industry and Finance, and has for the past eight years become a platform for recognising life transforming initiatives of entrepreneurs and corporate executives in the private and public sector.
Dr Omaboe noted that he was humbled by the award and was encouraged to continue to lead his team of professionals at GCNet, as pacesetters in the e-solutions space to champion the deployment of innovative robust e-applications to impact our country.
Dr Omaboe explained that the e-Solutions so far deployed by GCNet would ensure quality content on the back of creative, excellent service delivery, integrity and professionalism to create value for the country.
President of the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Ghana, Ato Gaisie, explained that the award scheme formed a crucial part of a nationwide corporate entrepreneurship campaign drive to connect with entrepreneurs and corporate executives at the forefront of the country’s development journey and celebrate their success stories.
He noted that entrepreneurs occupy a central position in a market economy, adding that they activate and stimulate economic activities and therefore the economic success of any nation depends on unleashing the entrepreneurial energies to create opportunities for wealth creation for all.
Managing Director of OmniBank, lead partner for the event, Philip Oti-Mensah, commended organisers for the platform to recognise and honour Entrepreneurs & Corporate executives, who have exhibited superior performance to unleash their potential to create jobs and add value to society.
