Jolanda Castagna, Chief Executive of Akka Kappa Ghana, has received the Best CEO of the Year award in the Real Estate Brokerage category at the 10th CEO Summit. This accolade formally recognizes Akka Kappa Ghana's more than ten years of growth and influence in the country's property sector. The summit celebrates top leaders and organizations making significant impacts across various industries in Ghana.
This award acknowledges Akka Kappa's consistent approach to business. The firm has carved a niche through transparency and deep local understanding in a sector often criticized for its fragmentation.

Ghana's real estate market remains a key driver of economic activity, attracting both local and international investment. The sector contributes significantly to job creation and urban development.

It also highlights the importance of teamwork in achieving industry recognition.
The recognition of leaders like Ms. Castagna can inspire greater professionalism and transparency within Ghana’s real estate brokerage sector. This could lead to increased investor confidence and more streamlined property transactions across the country.
