Beatrice Agyemang Named Media CEO of the Year at 2026 Awards

Accra, Ghana — Beatrice Agyemang, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Media General, has once again cemented her legacy as one of Ghana’s most formidable corporate leaders. At the prestigious 2026 Ghana CEO & Vision Awards, Agyemang was crowned CEO of the Year – Media, a recognition that underscores her transformative leadership and the undeniable dominance of the Media General brand across television, radio, and digital platforms.

For those who have followed her trajectory, this award is hardly a surprise. It is the culmination of a relentless pursuit of excellence that began not in a boardroom, but in the newsroom. Agyemang’s story is the quintessential media fairy tale: she started in 2000 as a reporter and news anchor, eventually interviewing global heavyweights like Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and John Kufuor . She didn’t just climb the corporate ladder; she helped build the ladder itself, serving as Managing News Editor, COO, and General Manager before taking the helm as Group CEO in 2018 .

Under her stewardship, Media General has evolved from a traditional broadcaster into a multimedia powerhouse. TV3 has solidified its position as Ghana’s most-watched channel, while properties like 3FM, Onua TV, and Connect FM have become regional powerhouses . But Agyemang’s impact extends beyond ratings. She has been a vocal advocate for innovation, pushing her team to embrace digital transformation long before it became an industry buzzword . Her leadership style—often described as firm yet deeply nurturing—has fostered a culture where rising stars are mentored and given the room to shine.

This latest honor adds to an already crowded trophy cabinet that includes the 2024 Female CEO of the Year at the Ghana Business Awards and recognition as one of Avance Media’s 100 Most Influential African Women . Yet, for Agyemang, the accolades are secondary to the mission. In a media landscape often fraught with challenges, she has remained a steadfast champion of press freedom and quality journalism, a fact recently acknowledged by the Ghana Journalists Association .

As she accepts this award, Beatrice Agyemang proves that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword—especially when wielded by a leader who knows exactly how to write her own story.
