The awards event held under the
theme ‘Marketing in a Disruptive Era’, sought to honour individuals and
businesses which have thrived and maintained excellence over the last
year and despite the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
According to
the citation to honour Patience, she is recognized for her enormous
corporate contributions and for leading Hollard Ghana to introduce
groundbreaking innovative products and marketing. Under her leadership,
Hollard Insurance has birthed innovative products like Hollard
ChatInsure with its popular virtual insurer, Araba Hollard, and landed
unconventional partnerships with retail giant Melcom and Vivo Shell in a
bid to increase insurance penetration in the country, among a host of
other initiatives.
Receiving the award, Patience Akyianu in her
acceptance speech said the annual CIMG performance awards are arguably
the most prestigious awards in Ghana.
“I am so thrilled and
thankful to God for this amazing recognition. I am grateful to the
Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana for this great honor. I would
like to acknowledge the unflinching support received from my family,
particularly my husband, on my journey so far as a business leader. I do
not take your love and support for granted, thank you”.
“This win is not just for Hollard Ghana, but for the entire insurance industry, because they are a recognition of the importance and relevance of the industry in the growth and development of Ghana’s economy and has been made possible by the enabling environment created by our regulator, the National Insurance Commission (NIC)”, she added.
She continued: “Great teams produce great results, so this significant milestone in Hollard’s journey to become Ghana’s favorite insurer is a team effort and has been achieved with the help of the entire Hollard team, made up of our General Insurance company, Hollard Insurance, led by Daniel Boi Addo, the Life Insurance company, Hollard Life Assurance, headed by Nashiru Iddrisu, as well as the team at the group office, especially Cynthia Ofori-Dwumfuo, our creative and hard-working Head of Marketing and Corporate Affairs. Fellow Hollardites, thank you very much for believing in the Vision”.
“As an organization whose purpose is to enable more people to create and secure a better future, we are excited to see our activities translating into a deepening penetration of insurance in Ghana”, she further added.
