Xodus Communications Limited has announced the winners of the 2023 Forty Under 40 Awards held on Friday, 1st September, at the De Icon Events Centre in Accra.
The 7th edition of the award scheme was held in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, with the aim of recognizing, honoring and celebrating a diverse group of young business leaders under the age of forty who have made significant achievements and impact in their respective industries.
The event started with an exhibition, networking and business forum which featured seasonal speakers such as renowned business mogul, Captain Kofi Amoabeng, Anthony Mensah Dzamfe (CEO of Caveman Watches), Felix Atsrim (CEO of FeDems Limited) and many others.
Also, the Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Limited with branches in South Africa, Ghana and the United Kingdom, Richard Abbey Junior, took the opportunity to officially launch his new memoir titled " I Can Never Be Mad Again".
The fascinating memoir chronicled the journey of how the CEO encountered self-styled hard-core poverty and pulled through.
He narrates the invisible scars which have become his badges of honor.
Richard Abbey Junior expressed his gratitude to God for the success attained despite facing numerous challenges while addressing the gathering at the event. He added that the Awarding board and the jury have thoroughly scrutinized all the winners of the various categories, and thus, it is essential for the winners to celebrate their achievements over the years.
“I want everyone seated here to take a lot of inspiration from my book. This should be a great motivation for all who are working hard to achieve great success. Once again, I congratulate the winners of the various categories because it is not easy to attain such success looking at their ages".
The categories covered various sectors, ranging from banking and finance, energy, business, agriculture, theatre and arts, journalism, fashion, law, sports, event management, health, technology, and innovation amongst others.
