Chris Boadi-Mensah

Christopher Boadi-Mensah (born 12 December 1975) is a Ghanaian insurance executive and public official. He has served as Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority since January 2025. He is also Chairman of the governing board of the National Insurance Commission and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors.

Early life and education Boadi-Mensah received his secondary education at Prempeh College.

He is a Chartered Insurer and a member of the Chartered Insurance Institute (United Kingdom) and the Chartered Insurance Institute of Ghana.

From 2018 to 2022, Boadi-Mensah served as Managing Director of Serene Insurance Company.

During his tenure, the authority has pursued initiatives aimed at expanding pension education and financial literacy, including proposals to introduce basic pension education in schools and technical institutions, and programmes to improve pension participation among informal sector workers.

Boadi-Mensah has also publicly advocated for pension system reforms, including the use of technology to enhance compliance monitoring and discussions on adjusting the statutory retirement age in response to demographic and economic pressures. He also advocated for Ghanaian companies to create more investor-friendly environments for long-term partnerships with the public.

National Insurance Commission In May 2025, Boadi-Mensah was sworn in as Chairman of the governing board of the National Insurance Commission, where he provides policy and regulatory oversight for Ghana’s insurance industry.

International roles In November 2025, he was elected to the Executive Committee of the International Organisation of Pension Supervisors for the 2026–2027 term, representing Ghana within the OECD-linked global pension oversight network.

He was defeated by the New Patriotic Party candidate in the 2016 Ghanaian general election.

Controversies In April 2026, Chris Boadi-Mensah was accused by the Minority in parliament of doubling his salary in February 2025, right after he assumed office as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority. The National Pensions Regulatory Authority later responded to the claim as false since their outgoing board had approved of the increment even before Chris Boadi-Mensah was appointed.
