Notes:

I am 30 years old and have recently been promoted to Manager at KPMG Ghana. Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis on weekends, work occasionally as a DJ, and volunteer my time mentoring underprivileged children at a school near my home.

Looking ahead, my ambition is to transition into strategy consulting at a leading MBB firm, with the longer-term goal of becoming Head of Strategy for a Fortune 500 company in the United States. At the same time, I am intentional about pursuing opportunities that align with my broader life priorities. As a father of two young daughters, I want to build a successful career without compromising my ability to be actively present in their lives and contribute meaningfully to their growth and development.
