- Sandra Adu-Gyamfi Joins Guinness Ghana as Corporate Relations Director and Company Secretary
Guinness Ghana Breweries Plc has appointed Sandra Adu-Gyamfi as Company Secretary following the resignation of Kelvin Boateng Koranteng, bringing an experienced legal and governance professional back to the company.
The appointment took effect on October 28, 2026, the same date as Koranteng’s resignation. Adu-Gyamfi returns to the brewer as Corporate Relations Director and Company Secretary after previously serving as its Assistant Legal Counsel.
In a circular dated November 2, Guinness Ghana said its board approved the appointment at a meeting held on October 28, following a recommendation from the Nomination and Remunerations Committee.
The company assured shareholders that the transition would preserve continuity in its governance and compliance responsibilities.
“The change ensures continuity in the Company’s corporate governance and statutory compliance functions and does not affect its operations or the rights of shareholders,” it stated.
Adu-Gyamfi brings more than 13 years of experience spanning legal advisory, corporate governance, regulatory affairs and compliance across multinational organisations.
Before returning to Guinness Ghana, she served as General Counsel and Company Secretary of Fan Milk Plc, part of the Danone Group. In that position, she advised the board and executive leadership team while providing legal, governance and risk oversight across Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo and Benin.
Her responsibilities also included oversight of corporate communications in Ghana. According to the circular, she played a leading role in Fan Milk’s B Corp certification journey.
The combination of legal, governance and communications experience is relevant to her dual position at Guinness Ghana, where she will serve as both Corporate Relations Director and Company Secretary.
Her previous employment with the brewer also gives her familiarity with its business. She served as Assistant Legal Counsel from 2017 to 2022, a period the company said provided valuable knowledge of its operations and working environment.
“Ms. Sandra Adu-Gyamfi returns to Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC as Corporate Relations Director & Company Secretary, bringing over 13 years of experience in legal advisory, corporate governance, regulatory affairs and compliance across multinational organisations,” the notice stated.
Adu-Gyamfi is a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Ghana. She holds a Master of Laws degree in International Corporate and Commercial Law from King’s College London.
Her academic background also includes studies in French and Philosophy and Law at the University of Ghana and Université de Caen in France.
The board expressed appreciation to Koranteng for his service and welcomed Adu-Gyamfi to the position. The circular did not state the reason for his resignation.
The same-day effective dates establish an immediate succession in the office of Company Secretary, with the company explicitly confirming that the change leaves its operations and shareholder rights unaffected.
