About Ionya
Built from a conviction about what Ghana can become.
Ionya helps serious organisations enter and build in Ghana through strategy, trusted access, diligence and practical execution. We pursue work that can create value for Ghana as well as the client.
The founder
Nana Adjei Sarpong
Opportunity should be a reason to stay, not only a reason to leave.
Nana’s story began in Ghana. He moved to the United States while young and grew up there, then spent significant time in the United Kingdom. Those places gave him opportunities and perspective, but Ghana remained central to what he wanted to build.
His background is in sales and go to market work. He earned a Master’s degree at the University of Liverpool and founded Ionya around a question that had become personal: how can more people and businesses find room to thrive in Ghana?
That question gives the company its direction. Relationships and commercial work matter when they are connected to a clear objective and the potential for credible benefit in Ghana.

A future with more opportunity at home.
We want an Africa where leaving is a choice, not a condition for thriving. Ghana is where Ionya begins. Consultancy is how we work today; over time, we intend to contribute more directly to the companies and ideas that create opportunity across the continent.
