Abigail embodies the true sense of optimism, resilience and vision. After completing the University of Ghana Business School with First Class Honors, she went ahead to qualify as a chartered management accountant. She co-founded an entrepreneurial business in online grocery shopping to bridge the gap between local farmers and market women. This later metamorphosed into her passion to help improve the Agric sector of Ghana and help make rural living more lucrative.
As one of the core leaders of The GracedLife Leadership Centre (a non-profit Christian organization set up to reorient the mindset of the African youth to foster selflessness and generational thinking in whatever sphere of leadership they find themselves), she currently trains young people in creative arts, theatre and TV production, after setting up her own theatre production company. She has over the course of 4 years, staged plays on both national and academic platforms, trained several young people and created jobs for others in the process. Abigail is also passionate about transforming the energy sector of Africa and make it more sustainable, a dream she birthed after working in the petroleum and energy sector of West Africa.
She looks forward to turning the exposure and experience from the Sauder MBA program and the Mastercard Foundation’s support into providing policy support for the African continent in sustainability in energy and agriculture, as well as support her lifelong commitment of raising the next generation of global African leaders through mentorship.
