Andrew Kofi Takyi

I am Andrew Kofi Takyi, a results-driven business development advisor based in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana, with over 9 years of experience across agribusiness, logistics, microfinance, and operations.

I currently serve as Business Development Manager at the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), where I conduct market research, develop business strategies to achieve sales targets and expand our customer base, and identify new products and strategic partnerships. Concurrently, I work as a part-time operations manager at Alltech Ghana Limited, overseeing SDLC Operations, process improvement, resource and team management, tools and infrastructure, and budget, vendor, and risk management.

My career began in shipping and logistics, with internships at the Ghana Catholic Service Secretariat and Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, and as a shipper service assistant in the National Service at the Ghana Shippers Authority, where I liaised between shippers and cargo handlers and represented shippers' welfare in customs meetings. I then moved into sales and marketing at Menzgold as a sales and marketing specialist, where I increased sales growth by 80% through targeted campaigns and social media strategies.

At MASLOC, I progressed from Credit Officer / Credit Admin (2020-2022), conducting risk analysis and financial modelling to ensure zero audit findings, to Administrative Secretary (2022-2025), optimizing workflows and executive operations, to my current leadership role.

I am currently pursuing an MPhil in Agribusiness at the University of Ghana. I hold a BSc in Port and Shipping Administration from Regional Maritime University and certificates in Virtual Assistance and AI Career Essentials from ALX Africa.

I excel in strategic planning, team leadership, market research, customer relationship management, and detailed execution.
