Emmanuel Kwabena Owusu
Emmanuel Kwabena Owusu, who previously worked at AirtelTigo and currently serves as the Chief Technological Officer at AT, has been recognized as one of Africa’s 12 Most Influential Telecommunications Leaders according to the Africa Tech Festival held in 2025.
Included in the yearly 100 African Leaders in Tech and Telecommunications list of the festival, this accolade recognizes pioneers who are fostering innovation, enhancing connectivity, and steering Africa’s digital evolution.
This acknowledgment means much more to Mr. Owusu than just a personal achievement; it represents the peak of his visionary guidance, technological innovation, and strong dedication to enhancing telecommunications in Ghana over many years.
As the Chief Technology Officer at AT Ghana, Mr. Owusu has championed an ambitious objective: to deliver swift, dependable, and equitable access to communication services throughout the country. During his tenure, AT Ghana has notably sped up its rollout of 4G networks. Additionally, he spearheaded the introduction of Multi-Operator Core Networks (MOCN) and nationwide roaming capabilities—innovations that have filled critical gaps in coverage and improved service quality, particularly benefiting areas previously lacking adequate connections.
Prior to assuming the position of Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Owusu held the role of Director of Network Planning at AT Ghana from 2020 to 2022. In this capacity, he successfully managed one of the firm’s smoothest network mergers, further establishing himself as a strategic technologist adept at delivering intricate initiatives flawlessly. Earlier in his career at Tigo Ghana, he made significant strides within the sector when he orchestrated the initial network consolidation between Airtel and Tigo—an unprecedented accomplishment both nationally and throughout Africa.
Emmanuel’s journey is also shaped by extensive experience across the telecom value chain, having held senior roles at Vodafone Ghana, Ericsson, and Huawei and now AT. This breadth of expertise—across both operator and vendor landscapes—has uniquely positioned him to lead with insight, agility, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving.
After the announcement, Mr. Owusu posted an emotional message on LinkedIn: “A special thank you to our incredible Networks Team, who never accept ‘impossible.’ This acknowledgment from the Africa Tech Festival truly humbles me. Congrats to all the outstanding leaders being honored. Together let’s keep breaking new ground!”
This demonstrates a strong admiration for the collective unity that drives AT Ghana’s ongoing achievements.

At AT Ghana, Mr. Owusu’s success is viewed as an embodiment of the collective commitment within the team. “True leadership isn’t undertaken alone,” stated the company in a release. “This accolade is attributed not just to Emmanuel, but also to each individual from our technical departments who contribute invisibly towards advancing our goals.”
With this honor, Mr. Owusu joins a distinguished league of African telecom leaders whose work is shaping the continent’s digital future. For AT Ghana, it marks another proud moment on its journey to becoming a catalyst for connectivity, innovation, and inclusive development.
