Women are significantly underrepresented in leadership positions globally, including Ghana's banking sector, where only one out of 23 universal banks has a female managing director.
Despite this, female CEOs like Felicia Boamah Hall, Gladys Okyere, and Helen Adjei Yankey are making strides.
Boamah Hall leads Mponua Rural Bank, achieving record profits; Okyere heads South Birim Rural Bank, promoting women's empowerment; and Yankey has transformed Nwabiagya Rural Bank's profitability significantly.
Their leadership showcases that with resilience, hard work, and support, women can excel and challenge stereotypes in a male-dominated industry.
