The Whitaker Group named Company of the Year award

With offices in Washington DC, and Accra, Ghana, the Whitaker Group has brought more than $2 billion in investments and capital flows to the African continent and is the consultancy of choice for Fortune 500 companies operating in the region.

Mr Anthony Annan, Executive Vice President of the Whitaker Group, received the award on behalf of the company and said, “We must remember that as Africa rises, it rises with a purpose, with a reason: to uplift but also to uphold. Our growth must be on our own terms. It is up to this audience: the future entrepreneurs, scholars and activists to make that a reality.”

The African Diaspora Awards ceremony is sponsored by Applause Africa, a quarterly lifestyle magazine publication that focuses on the people, cultures, and successes of Africa’s Diaspora.
