GLICO Life appoints a new Managing Director to drive progress

Mrs. Mame Dufie Achampong-Kyei Obeng, Managing Director of GLICO LIFE



The Board of Directors of GLICO Life Insurance Company Ltd. (GLICO LIFE) have appointed a new Managing Director in the person of Mrs. Mame Dufie Achampong-Kyei Obeng. She takes over from Mr. Edward Forkuo Kyei, who has taken up higher responsibility as the Group Chief Executive Officer of GLICO Group Ltd.

Mrs. Achampong-Kyei Obeng was the Executive Director, Technical Operations for GLICO LIFE, prior to her appointment as Managing Director for GLICO LIFE.

The new Managing Director is a Chartered Insurer and an Associate member of the Chartered Insurance Institute (United Kingdom). She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management with Economics and Marketing from Aston University (United Kingdom), and a Master of Science degree in Insurance and Risk Management from Cass Business School (United Kingdom). She is currently a Doctoral candidate of Business Administration at the Swiss Management Centre (SMC University, Zurich).

Mrs. Achampong-Kyei Obeng has extensive experience in insurance operations, having worked in various capacities at GLICO as a Marketing Executive, Underwriting Officer, Claims Officer and a Management trainee.  She also has in-depth experience in risk management and pioneered the formation of an Enterprise Risk Management Department for GLICO GROUP. This led to her appointment as Group Risk Manager before her penultimate appointment as Executive Director, Technical Operations-GLICO LIFE.

The Executive Chairman of GLICO GROUP, Dr. Kwame Achampong-Kyei, was extremely positive when asked about the new Managing Director’s appointment. He stated: “Mrs. Achampong-Kyei Obeng is an incredible professional, and is without doubt, capable of driving the success of GLICO LIFE into the next decades”.  He also added that as GLICO positions itself more strongly to exploit synergistic opportunities in insurance, “it has become extremely important to appoint a Chief Executive Officer to reconsolidate the Group. The elevation of outgoing Managing Director of GLICO LIFE, Mr. Forkuo Kyei - who is one of the best in Ghana’s insurance industry, to play the key role as GLICO CEO is a clear indication that we have the best people on our team”.

Mr. Forkuo Kyei, the new Group CEO was optimistic about the future of GLICO GROUP, and had this to say: The GLICO brand is a trusted one in the insurance industry, and the time has come for GLICO to provide more value-added services for Ghanaians and beyond. We can only achieve this by exploiting synergies within the GROUP to operationalise our business philosophy of “bringing insurance to the doorstep of every Ghanaian household, and to further affirm our promise of paying on time claims – which provide a cushion for all policyholders”.

When asked about her immediate plans for GLICO LIFE, the new Managing Director indicated that her immediate focus is to go back to the basics of GLICO LIFE’s foundation by offering tailor-made policies which add value to the current life expectations of Ghanaians. She expressed enthusiasm about the future of GLICO LFE, and stated that “GLICO LIFE is getting bigger and better!”

GLICO LIFE is a member of GLICO GROUP, and provides innovative and quality life insurance products and services for the insurable Ghanaian public.  For the past three decades and counting, the company has maintained a reputable mark in the industry as one of the top-five in the non-life insurance sector. It is the only life insurance company in Ghana to be rated “B-” by Standard & Poors Rating Agency.

Redesigned Nissan logo signals a fresh horizon

How the badge’s physical identity was adapted for the digital world We are more connected than ever before. People are growing up with the access to knowledge and the potential for interaction that the internet offers. Our lives are as much digital as they are physical. Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...

Tractafric Motors: Ford Ranger takes top honours

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies.
