Mr Pryce Kojo Thompson is a former banker. He retired from SSB Bank in 2003 after 15years at the bank’s helm of affairs. During his tenure as Chief Executive, he led the management team which restructured the then Social Security Bank from its distressed state in the 1980s through its turnaround into a viable, attractive institution. This enabled the bank to be subsequently listed on the stock exchange and privatized to a majority foreign-owned entity in the late 1990s. Along the way, he successfully accomplished the then only merger of banks ever done in Ghana.
Prior to his time at the bank, he had held the position of Managing Director of Achimota Brewery Company for about a year and a half. Before that, he worked as a Management Consultant in both private and public consultancy establishments.
His academic background covers studies in Economics as well as Business Administration, in Ghana, Japan and Britain. These culminated in an MBA from the University of Bradford, UK.
