ATC Ghana’s Reine Larbi-Tieku Wins Exceptional Woman in Finance Award
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the American Tower Corporation Ghana (ATC Ghana), Reine Larbi-Tieku, has been recognised as the Exceptional Woman in Finance at the maiden edition of the InstinctWomen Awards in Accra.
Madam Reine was awarded for demonstrating outstanding financial management and promoting a better understanding of the role of finance in the business world, and exhibiting best practices in corporate governance.
Her recognition was also because of her demonstration of a good relationship with partners coupled with the exceptional and excellent leadership skills exhibited at ATC Ghana.
The InstinctWomen Awards rewarded exceptional women of value and impact in various sectors and industries, aimed at increasing gender inclusiveness, visibility on women who are positively impacting lives, rewriting the narrative and changing stereotypes.
Mad Reine, after receiving the award, said, “to be recognised by InstinctWave as one of the women changing the narrative among this amazing group of successful and outstanding women is humbling.”
“As the Chief Financial Officer for ATC Ghana this award is a motivation to do more for the company growth, I thank my team for contributing to my success story,” she added.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for InstinctWave, Mr Akin Naphtal, said, the birth of the award scheme stemmed from the organisation’s belief in the value and empowerment of women.
“Women, most times are underestimated. For women to shatter glass ceilings in their chosen professions while successfully managing their homes, shows their ability to multitask and still be successful. My late mother’s life has been an inspiration to me. She had no formal education but ran a successful food business for over three decades with over 50 staff.”
“Looking at what women are doing – we see the need to encourage them, through a platform like this, celebrating all women, where there is no competition just women celebrating each other, both in the formal and informal sector,” he noted.
