Ms. Julie Essiam, who previously served as the Commissioner for the Support Services Division at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), is set to lead the organization as its new Commissioner-General.

This follows the dismissal of Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah as Commissioner-General by President Akufo-Addo on March 27, 2024.

In response to the leadership change, the GRA's board has been dissolved, with plans underway to assemble a new board.

Ms. Essiam's promotion comes after her tenure as Commissioner for the Support Services Division of the GRA, where she served as the Deputy Commissioner-General.

Her professional background in banking and dedication to sustainable transformation and development work have garnered recognition.

Previously, Ms. Julie Essiam held the position of Group Executive at the Ecobank Group, overseeing branches across 40 countries worldwide.

She is also known for her founding role in Africans4Africa (A4A), an initiative advocating for collaborative efforts among African leaders for the continent's development.

Ms. Essiam brings extensive experience to her new role, having served on various boards and committees, including those of the Ecobank Foundation and the Global Fund.
