Baaba Hammond appointed Country Manager for Bolt Business Ghana

Bolt has announced the appointment of Baaba Hammond as Country Manager for Bolt Business in Ghana, with a mandate to expand the company’s business travel services and strengthen its corporate offering.

Baaba, who joined Bolt more than five years ago, began as the first Bolt Business employee in Ghana after spending 18 months in Bolt Rides customer support. 

She has since risen through the ranks, moving from Business Specialist to Business Development Manager in 2021, and later advancing to Senior Business Development Manager. Before joining Bolt seven and a half years ago, she worked with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) for over three years.

In her new role, she will spearhead strategic growth initiatives, lead team expansion, and support Ghanaian businesses in accessing more cost-effective and flexible alternatives to traditional corporate travel.

Milu Kipimo, Regional Manager at Bolt Business, praised her progression within the company. 

“We are thrilled to see the progress of Baaba since joining Bolt Business in 2020 and happy to see her taking the lead in our operations in Ghana. Her experience will support our journey as we scale across Africa, and will bring a new perspective to our approach as we do that. The appointment underscores our commitment to this region as we look for even better ways to serve our business customers.”

Expressing her excitement about the appointment, Baaba Hammond said: “I’m honoured to step into this new role leading Bolt Business in Ghana. I look forward to leveraging my experience with corporates and businesses to drive our ambitious growth goals, while delivering the high-quality service our customers expect from Bolt Business.”

Bolt launched its business travel service in 2018 as part of its mission to “make cities for people, not cars.” 

The service provides ride-hailing and food delivery solutions for companies and is now available in more than 50 markets, with over 50,000 firms globally using the platform as of December 2024.
