Speaking in an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh on her award win, Bianca, who celebrated her 20th anniversary since being called to the Bar in 2005, expressed delight, saying the award was a testament to her strides in the legal profession and motivates her to continue giving her best.
“Personally, the Outstanding Woman in Corporate Risk and Strategic Advisory award is deeply humbling and affirms the value of consistency, integrity, and long-term vision. Professionally, it reinforces my belief that the law can be a force for dignity, opportunity, and meaningful institutional impact. It motivates me to continue building work that outlives individual titles."
Background and career of Bianca Clinton
Long before receiving this award, Bianca Clinton had already established an impressive legal career spanning Ghana, the UK, and Europe. She was called to the Bar in 2005 and has since built a successful professional journey across banking, governance, regulatory reform, and international advisory.
Having been influenced early to pursue law, Bianca described the profession as both a calling and a responsibility, noting that her natural affinity for language, reasoning, and creative expression strengthened her passion.
“I am a third-generation lawyer on both sides of my family, so law was both a calling and a responsibility. I also found it intellectually natural, having always enjoyed language, reasoning, and creative expression. The profession has instilled discipline, structure, and depth, and working with diverse boards and institutions has shaped my growth as both a lawyer and a leader.”
Bianca Clinton boasts an impressive wealth of experience, having worked with leading institutions such as Access Bank and PwC Switzerland, where she held senior positions. She has also consulted for top global organisations, including the World Bank.

After co-founding Clinton Consultancy in the UK, she relocated to Ghana following the birth of her twin daughters. She subsequently launched Clinton Corporate Consultancy, focused on strategic advisory, debt recovery, and company secretarial services.
Bianca Clinton shares her source of motivation
Reflecting on her source of motivation, Bianca singled out her parents, her late father, Mr Michael Clinton, and her mother, Mrs Sheila Clinton, for their sacrifices, educational investments, and commitment to global exposure, which shaped her independence and drive.
“My greatest motivation has been my parents. Their sacrifices for education, global exposure, and entrepreneurship shaped my mindset and independence. Growing up, entrepreneurship felt normal, not exceptional, and that foundation gave me the confidence to build and lead.”
Bianca shared that her success stems from focusing on preparation, consistency, and delivery.
“I believed early that excellence creates its own authority, and credibility grows through sustained performance.”
She also revealed that working in traditionally male-dominated professions has never hindered her progress due to her excellence-driven mindset.
“Interestingly, despite working in male-dominated sectors, I have largely found leadership environments to be open and receptive. From early in my career, I was trusted with responsibility and given opportunities to lead. I was raised to focus on excellence rather than gender, and that mindset carried into my professional life.”
Bianca Clinton launches digital platforms
In furtherance of her desire to make an impact in the legal profession, Bianca Clinton, in December 2025, launched her digital platforms: @BiancaClintonESQ and www.BiancaClintonESQ.com
The initiative aims to share thoughtful insights on law, leadership, global mobility, and entrepreneurship, while creating space for mentorship, transparency, and professional development.

In her message to women aspiring to venture into law or entrepreneurship, Bianca encouraged determination, originality, and resilience.
“Build consistently, give your best when opportunities arise, and trust that growth and reward follow discipline and perseverance. Build, build, build one step at a time, and soon you are completing projects and creating legacies.”
