Profile

Ambassador Emmanuel O. Darko brings nearly five decades of pioneering leadership in cooperative finance, governance, and financial inclusion to his role as Board Chairman of Investa Capital Fund Management. Recognized globally as a transformational leader in the credit union movement, he provides Investa Capital with unmatched credibility, governance depth, and strategic vision as the firm positions itself among the leading fund management companies in Ghana and Africa.
