Tullow has appointed Kweku Awotwi as Managing Director for its Ghana operations effective April 1, 2018.
His appointment is coming on the heels of the impending retirement of the current MD Charles Darku. Darku leaves office after March 2018.
Awotwi is an experienced international business executive with over 25 years’ experience working in the energy sector, electricity, oil and gas, as well as the mining and extractive industries, in both the public and private sectors in Africa and the United States. In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, Awotwi served at the Volta River Authority as Chief Executive for over four years and at Ashanti Goldfields Company, where he was MD, Strategic Planning and New Business Development.
Darku joined Tullow Ghana Limited (TGL) in 2013 as the first Ghanaian to lead the company, and has been instrumental in delivering the company’s primary objectives of oil and gas production. Awotwi joins Tullow on 1 March, 2018 to enable a smooth transition before Charles’ retirement date at the end of April.
