Rosemary Beryl-Archer Otchere, the wife of Host of Metro TV current affairs TV Show Good Evening Ghana, has been appointed by President Akufo-Addo as the new Deputy Chief Executive of the Ghana Export-Import (EXIM) Bank.

As Deputy Chief Executive, Rosemary Berly Archer will be in Charge of Banking and Business development of the Ghana EXIM Bank.
This appointment is her second under Akufo-Addo’s government as in 2017 when the NPP came to power, she was strategically appointed as the Head of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) of the same institution which was only a preparation for her present elevation to number two in the top bank.
She was also serves on the juicier board of the Ghana Freezones Company.
Mrs. Adom Otchere attended Holy Child School from where she entered University of Ghana and later University of Bedfordshire in the UK.

While various sources believe her husband was instrumental in the opening of the doors of power for her, on her own merit she has more than 15 years’ experience working within the Telecom, media and banking sector having worked with UMB, MTN, Access Bank and Fidelity Bank.
Rosemary Archer hails from the Western Region. She has over 20 years experience in 3 key industries including media and telecoms (working for Scancom Ghana) but mostly in banking.
