Yvette Adounvo Atekpe has spent over three decades at the centre of Africa’s digital transformation as one of its principal architects.
Her career began in the early days of mobile telephony, with formative roles at Celltel and Africa Online, before she rose to become Managing Director of Internet Solutions Ghana and Dimension Data Ghana, where she led the company through a period of significant growth and strategic change.
In 2023, through a Management Buyout (MBO), she acquired Dimension Data Ghana and founded Dynamic Data Solutions LTD (dds55). Yvette channelled that understanding into building a proudly Ghanaian technology enterprise that competes and wins at the highest level. Under her leadership, dds55 has grown into a trusted provider of enterprise connectivity, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions, serving some of the country’s most demanding organisations across multiple sectors.
Beyond the business, Yvette brings her experience to bear in governance and public service. She serves on the board of Access Bank Ghana Plc. and on the Governing Council of the University of Ghana. Two institutions where her perspective as a technologist and entrepreneur adds distinctive value.
She is also widely recognised for her long-standing commitment to gender inclusion in technology. For over a decade, she has mentored young women in ICT and supported initiatives that expand access and opportunity in STEM. Efforts acknowledged through her ICT Woman of the Year and CIMG Marketing Woman of the Year awards.
Grounded in a multidisciplinary academic background spanning IT Law, Philosophy, Sociology, and Strategy, Yvette Adounvo Atekpe leads with both rigour and humanity; a combination that has defined her career and continues to shape the organisations and people fortunate enough to work alongside her.
