Rene Awambeng, Director & Global Head, Client Relations, Afreximbank, has been awarded the Global Executive Leader Award at the Powerful Media’s Powerlist Black Excellence Awards 2024. The Powerlist celebrates Britain’s most influential people of African, African American and African Caribbean heritage. The Global Executive Leader Award sponsored by the London Stock Exchange Group is given to an outstanding leader, based outside the United Kingdom, who has demonstrated exceptional vision, innovation, influence and had a transformative impact on their organization.
After attending Buckingham Palace in London by Royal Invitation for the Powerlist Celebration of Black Excellence Awards 2024 Reception, which was hosted by King Charles III, Rene Awambeng said: “I am passionate about serving Africa at Afreximbank and this Award is a recognition of the transformational work and contribution we do to make positive change in Africa. At Afreximbank we see the Diaspora as the 56th country of Africa. This Award is a privilege and should serve as inspiration for the younger men and women to work hard and aspire for change.
The Powerlist is an annual publication that was first published in 2007 with the aim of providing professional role models for young people of African and African Caribbean heritage in Great Britain. It has created a network of influencers and in many ways is rebranding black Britain. The publication is distributed primarily to schools and
universities. It has become heavily requested by corporates as it is recognised as a valuable source for identifying black talent.
The judging process for the Powerlist is based on strict criteria. Powerful Media receives new nominations and updates from current Powerlisters. Names are put through a rigorous test based on the criteria of influence: ‘The ability to positively alter events and change lives as demonstrated over a meaningful period of time.’ Biographies of the highest-scoring 150 or so are given to the judging panel for deliberation.
