Show notes

On this episode of The Peswa Podcast Toolkit, we sit down with Tucci Ivowi, one of Ghana's most accomplished corporate and business leaders.Tucci's career is anything but ordinary. She spent 15 years at Nestlé, rising through several senior positions before becoming the first female and first Ghanaian Business Executive Officer for Nestlé Central & West Africa, managing businesses and teams across 22 countries. She later became a founding member of the Ghana Commodity Exchange, helping build the institution from the ground up before becoming its CEO.But this conversation goes far beyond the titles.Tucci takes us through the realities of climbing the corporate ladder, navigating career transitions, becoming a leader, and learning how to lead people across different cultures and environments.She also opens up about the personal side of success—including marriage, marrying later in life, societal expectations and the difficult question of how ambitious people balance career, relationships and the rest of their lives.From Nestlé to the Ghana Commodity Exchange, from corporate executive to institution builder, Tucci shares lessons from a career spanning continents, industries and leadership roles.This is a conversation about career, leadership, ambition, relationships and the life that happens outside the boardroom.If you're building a career, leading a team, navigating corporate Ghana, or simply trying to figure out what a successful life looks like on your own terms, this episode is for you.Watch, learn and share your thoughts in the comments.#ThePeswaPodcast #PeswaPodcast #TucciIvowi #Leadership #Career #Ghana #Business #WomenInLeadership #CorporateLeadership #Entrepreneurship
