The decision aligns with the company’s broader agenda to reinforce its corporate governance framework and integrate diverse professional expertise into its leadership structure.
Mrs. Ivowi is a seasoned professional with more than twenty years of experience in marketing, business strategy, and management across the consumer goods and manufacturing industries.

Prior to her tenure at GCX, Mrs. Ivowi held several high-profile positions at Nestlé, working across regions including the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. At Nestlé Central & West Africa Ltd., she became both the first female and first Ghanaian Executive Director, overseeing operations in 22 countries and leading business transformation efforts that emphasized purpose-driven and innovative growth.
Her earlier professional journey included collaborations with Unilever and British American Tobacco as a trusted marketing and branding partner. These engagements deepened her understanding of consumer psychology and brand connection, enriching her holistic approach to business leadership.
Mrs. Ivowi’s appointment marks a symbolic return to Unilever—this time as part of the company’s top decision-making body. Her strategic insight, leadership experience, and commitment to sustainability are expected to play a key role in shaping Unilever Ghana’s next phase of growth.
