Naa Adorkor Codjoe

Naa Adorkor Codjoe serves as a board member of Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC, one of the oldest international banking institutions operating in Ghana and a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Group, the British multinational with significant operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Standard Chartered's presence in Ghana spans over a century, giving it a depth of institutional history in the country that few other international banks can match.

Standard Chartered Bank Ghana occupies a distinctive position in the Ghanaian banking market, with particular strengths in trade finance, corporate banking for multinational clients, and financial markets services. Its Ghanaian client base includes major international corporations operating in Ghana, large Ghanaian businesses, and institutional clients requiring the sophisticated financial products that a major international bank can provide. The governance of such an institution involves overseeing the deployment of significant financial capabilities within the specific regulatory and competitive context of the Ghanaian market.

Codjoe's board role at Standard Chartered Bank Ghana reflects the professional standing she has built in Ghana's financial services community. Her contributions to the board's oversight of strategy, risk management, and management accountability take place within the dual governance framework that characterises all subsidiaries of major international banking groups: the standards and strategic direction of the London-headquartered parent, and the regulatory expectations of the Bank of Ghana.

Her recognition in the 2026 Avance Media Top 100 Women Board Directors ranking places her among Ghana's significant women in banking governance. The ranking examined board compositions across 100 of the country's leading institutions, finding women in nearly 26 percent of board seats across the organisations surveyed, a figure that reflects the progress made in Ghana's corporate governance gender inclusivity while highlighting the work that remains.

Her service at Standard Chartered Bank Ghana connects her to governance of one of the most historically significant international banking presences in Ghana, an institution whose operations and governance decisions have implications for some of the largest commercial transactions taking place in the country's economy.
