In a nostalgic evening, some former partners and employees of Deloitte Ghana reunited with the current partners and staff on Friday, April 11, 2025 to celebrate their impact on the Deloitte brand.
Dubbed the Deloitte Alumni Homecoming, the event provided a platform for the former partners and staff to share memories, network and value the importance of the alumni on the Deloitte business strategy.
The key purpose of the Deloitte Alumni Homecoming was for current and previous employees to maintain connections and foster a community of life-long relationships and mutual growth.
The Country Managing Partner of Deloitte Ghana, Daniel Kwadwo Owusu, pointed out that the Deloitte Alumni Homecoming is not going to be a nine-day wonder but rather a regular event to revitalise the alumni network to be more engaging, connected and supportive.
He added that a strong alumni value proposition should highlight benefits such as professional networking opportunities, exclusive events, career support and access to unique resources.
Mr. Owusu said: “This is not going to be a nine-day wonder; even before we end today’s event, we are looking at having another one in December [2025]. For me, it’s very important because it gives us the opportunity to link up and check on one another and see how we are faring, especially those of us who do not have any alumni apart from Deloitte.
“When we leave here, Deloitte is our family; Deloitte is our previous work, Deloitte is the place that we will go to; and therefore, we want to spend every effort to build the Deloitte that you started, the Deloitte that we want to see and be proud of.”
He commended all the former partners and alumni who have impacted the business.
Deloitte has shaped many careers
For her part, the Chief Sustainability Officer and Audit Partner, Abena Biney, said Deloitte has shaped many careers, fostered life-long friendships and inspired numerous people to live their purpose beyond profit, adding: “We are excited to bring you back home to create the wonderful memories we once shared and create new memories”.
“The firm is always proud of the indelible mark you left and the amazing work you are doing out there as alumni. The future looks bright, and we trust in your ability to always make Deloitte proud,” she stated.
Celebration of shared experience
Seth Kye, former Country Managing Partner, who spoke on behalf of the alumni, expressed gratitude to the partners and staff of Deloitte for creating such a great event to reconnect and celebrate past employees.
“It’s an absolute honour and privilege to stand before you at this special Deloitte Alumni Homecoming event. For me, it’s more than a gathering, it’s a celebration of the shared experience and impact we made at Deloitte.”
“We worked a lot at Deloitte and we are what we are today because of the support and hard work. It’s very important to collaborate as alumni and current staff to push the Deloitte brand forward.”
Some former partners present at the event were Dr. Felix Nana Sackey, Kwame Ampim-Darko, Francis Diaba and Ben Korley.
The Country Managing Partner concluded: “It’s amazing to see so many former colleagues and the firm look forward to the next edition”.
