China’s StarTimes pay-TV operator has appointed Akofa Banson as StarTimes Ghana general manager from April 2022, replacing Felix Ahonzo who exited as StarTimes Ghana chief operating officer (COO) after 5 years.

Akofa Banson joined StarTimes Ghana in 2016 as head of marketing and has served in this position the past six years, with over 20 years working in Ghana’s media marketing, advertising, content acquisition and film production industry.

Akofa started her career in 1999 as a marketing officer with TV3 Network Ltd. and became general manager at Alpha Limousine. She joined StarTimes from African Broadcast Network where she was the marketing manager for five years and then general manager for four years.

“We are extremely excited to have someone with her experience to lead our team on an exciting new growth path, we believe she will add significant value in achieving our vision and objectives,” says Maxwell Techie, StarTimes Ghana chairperson.
