On this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” the leadership story of Akosua Ansah-Antwi perfectly reflects the idea that the more leaders invest in people, purpose, and values, the greater the impact they create. As Managing Director of Enterprise Insurance, she sits at the helm of one of Ghana’s most respected and leading private insurers, guiding a company whose 102 years legacy of service continues to deliver on its promise to customers—Your Advantage.

For Akosua, the journey to leadership has never been a straight line. She often reflects that at every stage of her life, she has been exactly where God intended her to be. Faith, family, and the many mentors who have shaped her along the way have been key influences in her growth. One of her fondest childhood memories dates to when she was just six or seven years old—spending Saturdays at the library with her mother. Those quiet reading sessions sparked a deep love for books and learning that would later define her academic and professional path.

Her educational journey reflects curiosity, discipline, and a global outlook. She began at Okuapemman School before moving to the United Kingdom for her A-Levels at Notre Dame Sixth Form College. She then studied law at University of Hull and returned to Ghana to complete her professional training at the Ghana School of Law. Determined to broaden her expertise, she earned a Diploma in Insurance from the West African Insurance College, became a Chartered Insurer with the Chartered Insurance Institute, and later completed an MSc in Global Business at University of Salford. Each step added depth to her knowledge and strengthened the foundation for her leadership in the insurance industry.

Interestingly, insurance was not her childhood dream. Like many young girls, she once imagined becoming a flight attendant. But her love for reading, her naturally analytical mind, and a deep sense of fairness gradually steered her toward law. After qualifying as a barrister and solicitor, she sought a corporate legal role and applied to Enterprise Insurance. At the time, the company did not have an in-house legal department, so she was placed in the claims department—a moment that unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her career.

Today, Akosua describes her leadership style as one centered on empowering people and enabling growth. She believes leadership is a continuous journey of learning and collaboration, where the role of a leader is not only to guide but also to create the conditions for others to succeed. Her management philosophy is clear: people are the greatest asset of any organization. Creating an environment where voices are heard, ideas are welcomed, and accountability is upheld allows individuals to thrive and collectively move the organization forward.

As Enterprise Insurance enters its second century, she believes sustainable growth will depend on leaders who respect the company’s legacy while courageously embracing innovation. Listening deeply to employees and customers, adapting to a changing world, and fostering collaboration across the organization will be essential to ensuring the company remains strong for generations to come.

Her story embodies the essence of Give to Gain. By investing in people, knowledge, and values, Akosua Ansah-Antwi continues to lead a company that stands firmly for trust, excellence, and service—ensuring that for customers and communities alike, Enterprise Insurance remains Your Advantage.

Enterprise Group PLC wishes to provide clarification regarding recent public commentary referencing a reported GH¢10 million payment during the COVID-19 period.
In March 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ghana sought insurance protection for frontline health workers. A formal Request for Quotation was issued through an appointed broker for a Special Group Life, Critical Illness and Total Temporary Compensation policy. Enterprise Life responded and was appointed Lead Insurer of a consortium of nine licensed life insurance companies in Ghana.
The policy (No. GLP0184/20) was effective from 30 March 2020 to 29 March 2021. The total gross premium payable under the policy was GH¢10,309,919.94. The total sum assured for death benefits under the scheme was GH¢3,500,000,000.00 (exclusive of Critical Illness and Total Temporary Compensation benefits).
For clarity, the policy was issued by Enterprise Life Assurance Company Limited, not Enterprise Insurance. The amount referenced represents insurance premium paid for defined risk cover provided to eligible frontline health personnel during the pandemic.

The policy was not issued by Enterprise Life alone. The cover was underwritten by a consortium of nine licensed life insurers, with Enterprise Life participating as Lead Insurer with a 30% share. Claims under the policy were duly assessed and paid in accordance with agreed contractual terms.
This transaction was a regulated insurance premium for risk cover during a national emergency conducted within established contractual, industry and regulatory frameworks under the supervision of the National Insurance Commission. It was not a grant, gift, or discretionary transfer to any single entity.
Enterprise Life is a member of Enterprise Group PLC, which remains a listed Company of the Ghana Stock Exchange with over 3,700 different shareholders. The Company is a regulated institution operating under established governance structures and continues to honour all its obligations to policyholders and stakeholders.
We trust that this statement provides the necessary context and clarity regarding the matter.

Enterprise Insurance LTD, Ghana’s oldest (since 1924) ,leading and AAA rated insurer by GCR of South Africa, once again proved its unmatched leadership in the insurance industry after emerging as the most decorated company at the 5th Chartered Insurance Institute of Ghana (CIIG) Excellence Awards held in Accra, on 30^th August 2025.

The company clinched two top corporate honours, including General Insurer of the Year for the 4th consecutive time, cementing its consistency in excellence. Enterprise Insurance was also proudly inducted into the prestigious CIIG Hall of Fame, a recognition reserved for companies that have shown sustained industry leadership.

Adding to the celebrations, Enterprise Insurance also won CSR Company of the Year for its landmark Centenary Mechanized Borehole Project, which provided clean, safe water to communities across all 16 regions of Ghana. This initiative reflects Enterprise’s strong commitment to social impact and improving lives beyond the scope of insurance.

On the individual front, the company’s strength was further highlighted as Danny Anderson was named Young Insurance Professional of the Year, while Isaac Owusu-Adjei earned the distinguished title of Insurance Agent of the Year amidst stiff competition from  industry peers.

Speaking after the event, Managing Director of Enterprise Insurance, Akosua Ansah-Antwi, dedicated the honours to customers and staff:
“These awards belong first to our cherished customers who continue to trust us with their most important needs, and to our dedicated staff who consistently go above and beyond. We assure our customers of even more innovative, tailor-made insurance solutions that provide real value and peace of mind. Congratulations also to our individual winners, Danny Anderson and Isaac Owusu-Adjei, whose achievements reflect the strength and talent within the Enterprise Insurance family.”

What This Means for Customers

For customers and stakeholders, these recognitions are more than industry accolades — they are a reassurance of trust, innovation, and service excellence. Being inducted into the CIIG Hall of Fame after securing the General Insurer of the Year award for the 4th consecutive time means Enterprise Insurance remains the most reliable partner for protection and peace of mind. The CSR award highlights that with Enterprise, customers are part of a brand that not only safeguards assets but also actively invests in building stronger, healthier communities.

At Enterprise Insurance, our promise remains unchanged — to deliver the Advantage that every customer deserves, through protection, innovation, and service that sets us apart as leaders in the insurance industry.

Enterprise Group PLC, swept four top honours at the recently held 9ᵗʰ Ghana CEO Excellence Awards. At the awards, the Group Chief Executive Officer Daniel Larbi-Tieku was adjudged the Best Group CEO of the Year (Insurance Sector) and the Managing Directors of Enterprise Life, Enterprise Insurance and Enterprise Trustees—Jacqueline Benyi, Akosua Ansah-Antwi and Joseph Ampofo, respectively—each received category leadership trophies. This comes on the heels of the Company being named among the top 100 fastest growing companies in Africa by the Financial Times in its 2025 annual rankings, in recognition of the Ghanaian firm’s strong and consistent performance over the last three years. The Financial Times listing placed Enterprise Group among the continent’s elite performers after the company recorded an impressive absolute growth of 107.9%, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27.6%. According to the report, Enterprise Group’s revenue grew from $148.03 million in 2020 to $150.74 million in 2023.

Founded in 2010, Enterprise Group has grown into one of West Africa’s most trusted and diversified financial services firms, operating across insurance, pensions, funeral services and real estate. Having won many other awards in the past, the Group's inclusion in the FT’s prestigious list reflects not just the success of its business strategy but also the increasing influence of Ghanaian enterprises on the continental stage.

The Group Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Larbi-Tieku described the recognition as a proud moment for the Group. He added “This achievement is a testament to the discipline, innovation and commitment that drives every decision we make at Enterprise. Being ranked among Africa’s top 100 fastest growing companies is not just an honor for us, it is a message that Ghanaian businesses can lead, compete and thrive on a global platform.”

The Financial Times rankings are based on independently verified revenue data gathered between 2019 and 2023 from thousands of eligible companies across Africa. Businesses selected for the list are judged not only by revenue growth but also by their capacity for sustainable impact and market resilience.

Enterprise Group’s consistent performance comes at a time when African economies are navigating a complex mix of inflation, currency volatility, and regulatory reforms. Despite these challenges, the Group has remained committed to long-term investments in digital transformation, customer experience, and human capital development.

Mr. Larbi-Tieku credited the achievement to the Group’s values-driven culture and strategic foresight. “This milestone was made possible by our incredible team, our loyal clients, and the visionary leaders who laid the foundation for this company. As we celebrate this moment, we are also reminded that our work is far from over. We remain focused on delivering value, expanding across Africa, and making a lasting difference in the lives of the people we serve,” he said.

Enterprise Group PLC walked away as the most decorated organisation of the evening at the 9ᵗʰ Ghana CEO Excellence Awards, securing the Best Group CEO (Insurance Sector) accolade for its Group Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Larbi-Tieku, alongside three additional category-leadership trophies that went to the Group’s subsidiary managing directors. The haul underscores both the strategic depth of Enterprise’s bench and the coherence of its “One Enterprise” vision.

 

Daniel Larbi-Tieku — Best Group CEO, Insurance Sector

 

The Group Chief Executive Officer received this distinction for his “visionary leadership and transformative impact on Ghana’s financial-services sector”. Judges cited the Group’s record profitability, the seamless integration of its subsidiaries, and breakthrough digital initiatives—including the Enterprise Advantage App—that have pushed customer self-service to new heights. Accepting the award, Mr Larbi-Tieku credited “a family of purpose-driven leaders and staff who never lose sight of our customers’ needs.”

 

Jacqueline Benyi — Life-Insurance Leadership Award

Ms Benyi has driven Enterprise Life’s rapid growth by introducing micro-assurance products for the informal sector and automating underwriting processes that cut onboarding from days to minutes.

 

Akosua Ansah-Antwi — General-Insurance Leadership Award

At Enterprise Insurance, Ms Ansah-Antwi leveraged data-driven risk pricing, a real-time claims-tracking portal, and telematics-enabled auto covers to reduce claims turnaround and reward safe driving.

 

Joseph Ampofo — Pensions Leadership Award

Mr Ampofo doubled assets under management at Enterprise Trustees, adopted ESG-aligned investing, and launched the SmartPension dashboard that gives members instant insight into contributions and projected benefits.

A Collective Victory

The quartet of awards affirms Enterprise Group’s multi-brand strategy: each subsidiary executes with sector-specific expertise, yet all are united by a common digital backbone, disciplined governance, and a shared purpose of delivering “The Advantage” to customers across life, health, general insurance and pensions.

Group CEO Daniel Larbi-Tieku noted that the honours belong to “every Enterprise colleague whose daily work turns ambition into measurable impact.” With leadership teams across the Group now recognised as best-in-class, Enterprise Group is poised to deepen its market leadership, accelerate regional expansion, and continue redefining what Ghanaian insurance can achieve for customers and communities.

Enterprise Insurance has constructed mechanised boreholes in all sixteen regions of Ghana as part of its centenary celebrations and in line with the company’s commitment to making a lasting impact on the communities it serves.

This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) six (6), which aims to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030.

Managing Director for Enterprise Insurance, Akosua Ansah-Antwi said that water is life, and yet, according to the UN, billions of people around the world will still lack access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene unless progress towards this goal is accelerated.

“Enterprise Insurance recognises the crucial role that businesses can play in contributing to this global agenda, and we are determined to take bold steps in addressing the water access challenges faced by many Ghanaian communities,” she said.

A Century of Service, a Legacy of Impact

For 100 years, Enterprise Insurance has been a pillar in the Ghanaian insurance industry, providing reliable protection to individuals and businesses across the country.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, we are reminded of our responsibility to give back to the society that has supported our growth.

The construction of these mechanized boreholes is more than a corporate social investment; it is a legacy of impact and a demonstration of our deep commitment to the well-being of Ghanaians.

Each of the 16 mechanised boreholes is strategically located to serve communities in need of reliable access to clean and safe water.

These boreholes are designed to alleviate the burden of water scarcity, improve hygiene standards, and contribute to better health outcomes, particularly in rural areas where access to potable water remains a challenge.

Supporting SDG Goal 6: A Call to Action

Enterprise Insurance’s decision to focus on water access aligns directly with SDG Goal 6: "Ensure access to water and sanitation for all."

Clean water is not just a necessity for survival; it is essential for promoting health, reducing poverty, and fostering economic development. Without accelerated progress, many people will still face the dire consequences of water scarcity by 2030.

“At Enterprise, we believe that addressing this challenge requires collective effort. Our commitment to constructing mechanised boreholes in each region is a call to action for other organizations and stakeholders to join the fight for clean water access.

"We are hopeful that this initiative will inspire organizations across Ghana to prioritize long-term, sustainable solutions that contribute to national development and global goals,” Akosua assures.

A Project Worth Emulating

Our mechanised borehole project is a testament to the positive change that corporations can create when they actively engage in meaningful social investments.

We encourage other companies to take similar steps, addressing critical issues such as water access, sanitation, education, and healthcare, which are central to sustainable development.

As Enterprise Insurance marks its centenary, we remain committed to making a difference beyond the boardroom. By investing in our communities, we are securing a healthier, more prosperous future for all.

Let us work together to ensure that safe water becomes a reality for every Ghanaian, and by extension, every human being. Join us in this effort to transform lives and build a sustainable future for generations to come.

Enterprise Insurance continues to be a driving force in promoting sustainable development, and our centenary borehole project is just the beginning.

At Enterprise, we are committed to building a better tomorrow for all in line with our Mission to provide all who come into contact with us their desired advantage because we are the best at what we do!”
