Renowned Ghanaian Broadcast journalist and Media Executive, Natalie Fort has been appointed Global Chair of the Media, Arts & Communication Wing of G100, a prestigious international network of women leaders and He-for-She champions, advocating for gender equality worldwide.
The appointment places Fort among an elite group of global women leaders steering sector-specific advocacy, policy influence, and action across more than 100 countries. G100 brings together women leaders from diverse sectors, supported by male allies, to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) on gender equality.
Natalie Fort, who previously served as Ghana‘s Country Chair for the G100 Media, Arts & Communication Wing, becomes one of the few Africans to lead a global G100 wing. In her new role, she will provide strategic leadership across all country chapters, working with national chairs, institutions, and partners to amplify women’s voices, promote media equity, strengthen leadership pipelines, and engage young people in shaping inclusive narratives.
Speaking on the appointment, Fort described the role as both an honour and a responsibility.
“In a decade where narratives shape culture, opportunity, and power, media and communication have a critical role to play. I look forward to working with country chairs, partners, institutions, and young people worldwide to advance women’s leadership and contribute meaningfully to global advocacy aligned with SDG 5,” she said.
Natalie Fort succeeds Alex Okoroji, the immediate past Global Chair of the wing, and has acknowledged her leadership and contributions in building a strong foundation for global collaboration within the Media, Arts & Communication Wing.
She also expressed appreciation to Dr. Harbeen Arora Rai, Founder of G100, for her visionary leadership in establishing the movement, and Dr. Hartini, President of G100, for her stewardship in advancing gender equality on the global stage.
As part of the leadership transition, Ms. Etornam Sey, who previously served as Director of Operations for the G100 Media, Arts & Communication Wing in Ghana, has been nominated to take over as Ghana‘s Country Chair, ensuring continuity and sustained momentum at the national level.
Natalie Fort will serve as Global Chair, contributing to G100’s work with governments, multilateral institutions, and global platforms including the UN, G7, and G20, through thought leadership, advocacy, and policy recommendations.
G100 is a voluntary, invitation-only global initiative comprising eminent women leaders across sectors, supported by the G100 Denim Club of He-for-She champions, and remains one of the most influential global platforms driving women’s leadership and gender equality in this decade.
