Our top 5 trailblazers

1. March 2021 - Patricia Obo-Nai

She is the first ever woman to hold the title of Vodafone Ghana CEO, and is a giant in the African technology and telecoms sector. 

Alongside her exceptional career achievements, Obo-Nai is also a fierce advocate for women’s health rights, and uses technology to provide a better standard of healthcare for women. 

“It is wholly unacceptable that a mother in sub-Saharan Africa is over 100 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than a woman in Western Europe, in an age when having a mobile phone and access to the internet alone can greatly enhance their life chances.”
