Gregory Rockson

Gregory Rockson is a Ghanaian-American entrepreneur, investor, and the co-founder and CEO of mPharma, a health technology company he co-founded to address Africa's chronic medicines supply and affordability challenges. Through mPharma, he has built one of the continent's most significant health technology enterprises, operating across multiple African countries and transforming how pharmaceutical supply chains, inventory management, and patient access to medicines work across the continent.

Born in Ghana, Gregory pursued his education in the United States before channelling his skills and ambitions back toward Africa's development challenges. His co-founding of mPharma in 2013 responded to a fundamental problem: across Africa, hospitals and pharmacies frequently run out of essential medicines, and where medicines are available, patients often cannot afford them. mPharma's platform approaches this problem from multiple angles, managing pharmaceutical supply chains for hospitals, running retail pharmacy networks, and building the data infrastructure that makes the medicines market more efficient and transparent.

Under his leadership, mPharma has expanded from Ghana across multiple African markets, demonstrating that a technology-driven approach to healthcare supply chains can scale across diverse regulatory and market contexts. The company's growth has attracted significant investment from global venture capital and impact investors, validating the business model and the team's capacity to execute.

His work has earned recognition from global business and entrepreneurship platforms as an example of African-led innovation addressing real development challenges. Gregory has been featured on prestigious lists recognising young entrepreneurs making meaningful contributions, and his advocacy for improved healthcare access and pharmaceutical systems in Africa has extended his impact beyond mPharma's direct operations.

Gregory Rockson's career represents the most ambitious form of African entrepreneurship: building a company that can genuinely change how fundamental services are delivered across the continent.
