Matthew Essuman was recently promoted to the position of Commercial Manager.

He joined Form Ghana in 2013 as a Management Trainee. The company recognised his drive for self-development and willingness to work hard and gave him opportunities to acquire new skills and experience through the various levels of management.

“My managers offered me the opportunity to develop a career path. They encouraged me to develop skills in decision-making and planning, coaching and developing team members, conflict resolution and engaging with our community partners”, Matthew explains. 

Over the years, as Matthew’s responsibilities grew, he progressed from Management Trainee to Management Assistant, Plantation Supervisor, Silviculture Forester, and later the Plantation Manager.

“I am very grateful and happy regarding my new appointment as Commercial Manager. It gives me a fantastic opportunity to continue to grow and add value to the company.

“I am involved in implementing our commercial strategies and managing the associated risks while marketing and selling our teak logs and growing our carbon credits market. In addition, the position requires good communication skills to deal with our stakeholders at various levels, such as the Forestry Commission and our customers. God bless Form Ghana for the commitment to developing your employees”.
