Odupong's profile
Odupong Agyapong Atta-Agyapong is a visionary who believes in systems, processes, and people, according to reports.
He is inspired by his parents' commitment, who raised Odupong and his seven siblings on subsistence farming because they had a strong aim of ensuring that their eight children were educated, despite not having had the opportunity to be educated themselves.
In order to pursue their idea, they moved from Bechem, a tiny agricultural community in the Ahafo Region where Odupong was born, to Sunyani, the capital of today's Bono Region.
Odupong is an economist with a focus on project creation and structure. Credly Consult, a financial advising firm, and EMC, a Ghanaian infrastructure investment company, are co-founders.
He has contributed in the planning and development of growth systems for a number of projects as a business consultant, both directly and indirectly.
He has developed direct ties with a number of government officials, corporate CEOs, and their CFOs. He helps individuals create sustainable and demonstrable short and long term value generation by using his company growth tactics.
Odupong believes in tried-and-true methods, recognizing that organizations fail to expand not because of a low-performing personnel, but because of a lack of a well-defined, repeatable model.
He has a bachelor's degree in economics from KNUST, a master's degree in economic policy management from the University of Ghana, and a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Ghana (Central University).
Atta-Agyapong is now enrolled in Part 1 of the Ghana School of Law's Professional Law program.
