Kojo Addae Mensah, Group CEO, Databank

Stop tagging professionals as politicians – Databank CEO
Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the
Databank Group, Kojo Addae-Mensah has bemoaned how
everything is politicized in Ghana.

He believes such a phenomenon only discourages
development.

Sharing why he was unhappy with the trend of
politicizing every situation in the country, he
related his own experience of how people branded
him politically because of his hard-earned
professional position.

“When I landed the position of CEO at GCB, it
was during Mills’ era and people assumed that
all of us at the top were affiliated to the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) and now that I
am the CEO of Databank, they say I’m an NPP
man”, he told Rev. Erskine on the Y Leaderboard
Series.

He further said that such politicization is unfair
and sad as professionals work for the betterment
of the country and not according to the whims and
caprices of politicians.

“Ghanaians politicize everything. We were all
branded at the top as politicians. It is very sad.
I don’t know why we cannot give people merit”,
he added.

Kojo Addae-Mensah is an accomplished banker with
over two decades of banking experience.

He has worked in Multinational banks like Standard
Chartered and Barclays Bank, where he played
various roles across Africa.

He was also the Chief Operating Officer of GCB
Bank before he took up his current role as the
Group CEO of Databank
