GHOne TV’s Natalie Fort, a renowned broadcast journalist, prime-time news anchor, and TV host with the EIB Network, 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 the GHOne TV journalist among an elite group of global women leaders steering advocacy, policy influence, and action across more than 100 countries. G100 works closely with governments, multilateral institutions, corporations, and communities to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) on gender equality.
Natalie Fort currently serves as a prime-time news anchor on GHOne TV and is the host and co-producer of The Natalie Fort Show, a current affairs and conversation programme on the EIB Network that explores leadership, governance, media, and social impact issues. Her appointment as Global Chair highlights the growing global recognition of Ghanaian media professionals and the influence of the country’s media industry on international platforms.
Prior to her global appointment, Fort served as Ghana Country Chair for the G100 Media, Arts & Communication Wing, where she led national initiatives focused on women’s representation, leadership, and advocacy within the media sector. She becomes one of the few Africans to lead a global G100 wing.
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 amplify women’s voices, advance media equity, and contribute to global advocacy aligned with SDG 5,” she said.
Fort succeeds Alex Okoroji, the immediate past Global Chair of the wing, and has acknowledged her leadership and contributions in strengthening the foundation of 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, as well as Dr. Hartini, President of G100, for her stewardship and commitment to advancing gender equality globally.
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 Country Chair, ensuring continuity and sustained momentum at the national level.
Natalie Fort will serve as Global Chair, contributing to G100’s work as a global think tank and action platform that regularly presents recommendations to the United Nations, G7, G20, and governments worldwide.
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 is widely regarded as one of the most influential global platforms advancing women’s leadership and gender equality in this decade.
