Amin Ayarnah

Founder & Chief Visionary, RECOM

Amin Ayarnah is the Founder and President of Rumis Engage College of Marketing (RECOM), Ghana’s professional marketing education centre dedicated to developing responsible, future-ready marketing professionals across Africa. Under his leadership, RECOM delivers CIMG qualification tuition through seven specialist lecturers, runs the RECOM Marketing Talent Fellowship in partnership with CIMG, and is pursuing CIM UK accreditation as part of a ten-year roadmap toward degree-awarding status.

A self-described “pracademic,” Amin bridges academic rigour with real-world practice. He is a Chartered Marketer with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK) and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Marketing from CIM, an MBA in Marketing from the University of Ghana, and is completing a PhD in Marketing at the University of Ghana Business School, where his research explores AI, chatbots, and customer experience. He is also pursuing an MSc in Digital Currency and Blockchain Technology at the University of Nicosia.

Beyond RECOM, Amin is Founder of the Sustainability Marketing Summit Africa (SMSA) and Rumis Engage Consulting, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana. He also works within KPMG Ghana’s Clients & Markets function, leading marketing strategy and strategic engagement across KPMG One Africa. He has been recognised with the KPMG Ayekoo Award and the KPMG Africa Rockstar Award for Leadership.

Amin writes and speaks widely on responsible marketing leadership through his newsletter, Responsible Futures. His guiding conviction is simple: if forced to choose between knowledge, experience, and good conduct, he would choose good conduct every time, a principle that shapes everything he builds at RECOM and beyond.
