Pryce Kojo Thompson (Board Chairman) retired at age 52 from SSB Bank in 2003 after 15 years at the Bank’s helm of affairs. During my tenure as Chief Executive I had anchored the management team which restructured the then Social Security Bank from its distressed state in the 1980’s through its turnaround into a viable, attractive institution. This enabled the bank to be subsequently listed on the stock exchange and privatised to a majority foreign-owned entity in the late 1990’s. Along the way I successfully accomplished the only merger of banks ever done in Ghana. Prior to my stint at the bank I had held the position of Managing Director of Achimota Brewery Company for about a year and a half and before that worked as a Management Consultant in both private and public consultancy establishments.
My academic background covers studies in Economics as well as Business Administration, with studies in Ghana, Japan and Britain. These culminated in an MBA from the University of Bradford, U.K. A firm believer in training the Human Resource of the establishments I headed, I myself used to attend annual seminars and workshops in many countries during my active days in Executive Management.
I have spent my retirement pursuing my avid interest in the internet. I have also continued to pursue my interest in corporate governance with chairing the Boards of Ghana Commercial Bank and Provident Insurance Company and membership of the Board of Teacher’s Fund Financial Services Limited. My company board experience encompasses many varied companies, pre-retirement. I try to keep in physical shape by playing squash raquets, a game I learnt during my student day in the Achimota Secondary School.
