Bio
David Coleman
Nii is a great example of a person who loves what he does and thus does it seemingly effortlessly. When I worked with Nii he was constantly criss-crossing the nation managing all of Vodafone Ghana's media, alone, dealing with countless third parties for every conceivable type of media and frequently being called on to MC at internal and public events. He was the one man team we all depended on to rollout intricate multi-channel communications. His cultural awareness, social nature and geographic knowhow helped keep Vodafone present, local and current in all the right places at a time when competition among telcos was fierce. I recommend Nii highly.
Ebenezer Amankwah
Nii is simply timeless! A real colossus of the radio industry in Ghana. His in-depth appreciation of the strategies to adopt in winning in the industry are legendary. How can i forget his deepest understanding and discernment when it comes to 'true' music... i still remember how we can go on and on about music from different genre especially JAZZ!
