Judges
The judging of the African Business Awards is undertaken by a distinguished panel of business experts covering all the regions of Africa. The Judges have been carefully chosen for their experience, business acumen and expertise. They are fully independent and therefore provide the programme with its rigour and robustness. The judges receive no personal or financial benefit from their participation other than experiencing at first hand the success stories of all the finalists and the opportunity to encourage and promote the highest standard in business.

Mr. Omari Issa, Chief Executive Officer, Investment Climate Facility for Africa
Mr. Amadou Ba, President and Director, AllAfrica Global media
Mr. Stephen Hayes, Chairman, Corporate Council on Africa
Mr. Tim Turner, Director Private Sector, African Development Bank
