Unilever Ghana Plc has announced the appointment of Mrs. Setutsi Goka Ivowi (Tucci Ivowi) as a Non-Executive Director, effective October 1, 2025. The appointment forms part of the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening corporate governance and enhancing strategic oversight through the inclusion of accomplished business leaders with diverse expertise.
Mrs. Tucci Ivowi is an accomplished marketing and business management professional with over two decades of experience spanning consumer goods and manufacturing sectors. Her appointment underscores Unilever Ghana’s focus on bringing visionary leadership, market insight, and a deep understanding of consumer behaviour to its Board.
She is the recent past Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX), where she led the institution’s transformation into a key driver of agricultural trade and value chain efficiency. Under her leadership, the Exchange expanded market access for smallholder farmers and advanced transparency in Ghana’s commodity markets. Mrs. Ivowi also led the formation of the AfCFTA Association of Commodities Exchanges.
Before joining GCX, Mrs. Tucci Ivowi built a distinguished career in brand management, marketing, and strategy, with extensive experience at Nestlé, where she worked across the UK, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. At Nestlé Central & West Africa Ltd., she made history as the first female and first Ghanaian Business Executive Officer (Executive Director), managing business operations across 22 countries. Her leadership was marked by strategic clarity, innovation, business transformation, and an unwavering focus on purpose-driven growth.
Earlier in her career, Tucci Ivowi gained invaluable experience working with leading global brands including Unilever and British American Tobacco, as a trusted agency partner. These collaborations helped shape her deep understanding of how consumers think, choose, and connect with brands, broadening her perspective beyond marketing campaigns to the emotional and behavioural dimensions of brand engagement.
Her return to Unilever Ghana — this time at the board level — represents a full-circle moment in a career defined by strategic vision, consistency, and impact. With her extensive experience in marketing, business transformation, and corporate governance, she brings a wealth of expertise that will enrich the Board’s work and support Unilever Ghana’s mission of delivering sustainable growth and shared value.
Mrs. Ivowi’s appointment comes alongside those of Ms. Angela Kyeremanten-Jimoh, Mr. Peterson Ekow Afedzie, and Mr. Djabanor Narh as Non-Executive Directors, all effective October 1, 2025. These new additions reflect Unilever Ghana’s continued commitment to strong leadership and diverse perspectives as it enters its next phase of growth.
