Ghanaian business enterprises are increasingly diverse in terms of gender representation, yet little research has explored these dimensions within an African context. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of female and male executives from various sectors across Ghana. The study revealed that while there is significant progress in hiring practices, women still face challenges related to networking and leadership development. Women in Ghanaian business enterprises are encountering both opportunities and obstacles, particularly in terms of access to networks and mentorship programmes. Business schools should incorporate gender studies into their curricula, and government policies could support the establishment of women’s chambers of commerce.
