Dr. Dogbey, a seasoned transformational and strategic funding executive, brings to the role over 20 years of global experience spanning corporate finance, investment management, global banking, and infrastructure development.

At American Express in New York, he served as Director of Funding and Investments, managing over $120 billion in trade value and spearheading quarterly capital market funding of $4 billion. He also drove a $220 million revenue increase by optimizing international exchange rate programs.
His impressive portfolio also includes senior positions at Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank, where he oversaw multibillion-dollar budgets and led initiatives that enhanced operational efficiency and achieved significant cost savings across multiple banking divisions.
Dr. Dogbey’s roots in Ghana’s financial sector include conducting feasibility studies and financial audits at Deloitte and the Volta River Authority. His career has consistently focused on fostering economic development and promoting public-private partnerships.
