Databank co-founder steps down
Accra, Feb. 16, 2012
Investment banker, Ken Ofori-Atta has stepped down as Chief Executive of the Databank Group.
He announced his retirement from the investment bank on Tuesday, but he, however, says he will stay on as the ceremonial chair.
Kelly Gadzekpo, co-founder of the Group is expected to take over as the new Chief Executive.
Speaking on an Accra-based radio station, Joy FM, Mr Ofori Atta explained that his decision was due to his health condition.
He said, “In October last year I was diagnosed of conorary embolism which is clots in the lungs and that sort of took me out work for three months. So all of those things feed into the decision to now step out to see where the Lord will lead us”
He added that his absence should not affect the business in any way.
“Steve Jobs passed, Bill Gates stepped aside, and the company seems to be doing well or even better. So that’s the kind of excitement I have in handing over to Kelly Gadzekpo to take us to the promised land. Am truly excited about it and I feel very good in me. We all should learn to make transitions”.
