Receiving the award, Mr Amoatey attributed the triumph to the invaluable support of his colleagues and partners.

“I am thrilled to have been honoured in such a profound way,” he said. “In many ways, this award is a reflection of the quality of the colleagues, partners and clients that I have had the opportunity to work with. It is as much their award as it is mine.”

With his exacting attention for details and excellent communication and guest relation skills, Mr Amoatey is known in his circles as the “King of Events.”

Over the years, Mr Amoatey has spearheaded the planning and seamless execution of high-profile events such as the Stanbic Jazz Festival, the launch of Stanbic Bank’s Wealth and Investment Unit, Tullow’s Investor Conference and Tullow’s FPSO Professor Atta Mills’ First Oil Celebration.
