Accra, September 4, 2017//-The Media General Group, owners of TV3 Network Limited, Onua FM, and others today announced the appointment of Pearl Esua-Mensah, as its Group Chief Executive Officer.
Her appointment takes effective from October 1, 2017. Madam Esua-Mensah’s appointment follows the expiration of John Chiahemen’s contract this month.
Prior to taking over the Group CEO position, Madam Esua-Mensah who is the first female to become the CEO of that group would be working with the leading media conglomerate in an acting capacity from September 4, according to 3news.com which is owned by the Group.
Mr Chiahemen is therefore expected to take his annual leave effective September 4, 2017, a memo from the Group Board Chairman, Mr. Berifi Apenteng, to management and staff of the company said on Monday.
John was, among other things, instrumental in the restructuring of the Group, putting it in a strong position to realise its set vision.
He brought to the Group his 35-year experience in senior editorial, media training and management roles across the globe, mostly with Reuters, building a solid foundation for Media General to become a converged content entity gearing to launch a 24-hour international TV news channel.
“The company is very grateful for the work he has done during his tenure at Media General, and we wish him a hearty farewell as he pursues other interests,” the memo expressed.
Meanwhile, Pearl Esua-Mensah joins the Media General Group with over 20 years global experience, leading and consulting for businesses in different sectors in Ghana and abroad. Until her appointment, she was the Founder/CEO of Feniks Limited, a leading consulting firm. “Pearl’s distinctive leadership abilities, vast business experience and her expertise with managing business res-organisations, positions her firmly to lead the transformation of our business into one of Africa’s leading and most respected media conglomerates in Africa.”
