About
Hello! I’m Akua, and I love helping people and businesses grow - the kind of growth that feels grounded, intentional, and human.
​
Over the years, I’ve partnered with ambitious founders and seasoned executives across tech, creative, and consumer industries helping them build cultures that scale without losing their soul.
​
I bring over 20 years of experience leading People functions and advising boards across scaling environments - from Series A start-ups to global enterprises.
My approach blends strategic clarity with human understanding, the structure to deliver results, and the empathy to make them sustainable.
​
People who know me well say I’m direct, calm, and unflinchingly honest - but always kind. I’m a coach, a connector, and a builder. I help leaders see themselves clearly, teams move together, and cultures thrive through change.
​
However you work with me, whether as a Chief People Officer, coach, or speaker, the way I work is always personal, practical, and purpose-led. Because real performance begins with people who feel seen, supported, and powerful in their own right.

"I believe in the power of people, in what happens when we build cultures where everyone feels safe enough to show up, speak up, and grow"
