Mr. Kwabena Ampofo Appiah is the Managing Director and member of the board of directors of State Housing Company Limited where he is focused on sustaining the Company’s efforts to support Ghana’s housing market and on driving the Company’s contributions to creating a better housing industry for the country.

Prior to joining the State Housing Company Limited in Ghana in June 2017, Mr. Appiah was with St. George Property Developers in Chelsea, London, United Kingdom and then later with Crosland Estates also in London.

His international real estate experience proved invaluable when he joined Fannie Mae in the United States in April 2009 as a Business Analyst and Operations Manager. After distinguishing himself in that role for four years, he was promoted to the position of Customer Support Manager based on his excellent work ethic and exemplary leadership. He served in that role for another four years.

Mr. Appiah’s distinguished service in private and public real estate was recognized beyond the shores of the United States when in 2017, the President of the Republic of Ghana appointed him as the Managing Director of the State Housing Company where he currently works to promote the government’s housing policies and initiatives to create a better housing and real estate industry. Kwabena inherited an almost defunct company, but being a turn-around expert, he has worked tirelessly and managed to successfully turn around the company and made it profitable.

Kwabena holds a BA in Arts, Law and Sociology from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, HND Marketing from Kumasi Technical University, and MA Public Administration, from University of Baltimore.

Kwabena enjoys music and socializing with his family and friends.
