Success in business is not just about strategy—it is about understanding people, markets, and the ever-evolving forces that shape them. For over 20 years, Kofi Ocloo has been at the intersection of commerce and creativity, building brands that resonate and driving growth across Africa. 

His journey began in export sales, but it was in advertising that he found his true calling. From Origin8 Saatchi & Saatchi to Publicis West Africa, he has played a pivotal role in shaping some of the continent’s most recognisable brands, including MTN, Nestlé, and SG-SSB. With a deep-rooted understanding of Central and West African consumers, Kofi has worked across 22 markets, leading strategy, brand planning, and large-scale campaign execution. 

His influence extends beyond the boardroom—Kofi has guided creative teams, spearheaded ideation sessions, and overseen high-budget film productions with renowned directors in Johannesburg and Cape Town, resulting in award-winning commercials. As Regional Client Service Director at The Firehouse in Nigeria, he not only led the Globacom (Glo) account in Nigeria and Ghana but also expanded the agency’s portfolio through strategic business development. 

Now, as Vice President of Commercialisation, Operations, and Growth at Heritors Labs, Kofi is poised to apply his wealth of experience to scaling innovation, building strategic partnerships, and driving sustainable growth. His leadership is shaped by a profound understanding of markets and a relentless pursuit of excellence—qualities that continue to shape the future of brands and businesses across the continent.
