Remembering Kojo Akyer: A Quiet Force Who Made a Lasting Impact at Hubtel 

On Monday, 15th September 2025, the Hubtel team received news that would change the tone of the week completely — the sudden passing of Kojo Akyer, a valued member of the Quality Assurance (QA) team.  

Kojo joined Hubtel on 1st August 2024 as a Quality Assurance Test Automation Engineer, a role that placed him at the heart of ensuring the reliability of Hubtel’s systems and applications. In a short time, he became an integral part of the QA team, working on the Merchants Portal and collaborating with other testers to strengthen system performance and deliver smooth customer experiences. 

Though relatively new to the company, Kojo quickly distinguished himself through his work ethic, focus, and humility. He approached every project with quiet determination and professionalism that earned the respect of both his peers and leaders. 

“Kojo brought both skill and dedication to his work,” shared Michael Adom, Head of the QA Department. “He approached every task with focus, diligence, and humility. His technical expertise, willingness to learn, and teamwork stood out in every project he touched. Above all, Kojo was dependable — someone who could always be counted on to get the job done right.” 

His calm personality and disciplined approach to testing and automation made him a steady influence on his team. Those who worked closest with him often describe him as a kind, reliable, and quietly confident professional who made everyone feel at ease. 

“His unwavering dedication and quiet humility left a lasting impression on both our immediate team and the entire QA department,” said Jewel Appiah, one of his managers. “Kojo made significant contributions that not only advanced our work but also strengthened the bonds among team members. He will be remembered not just for what he did, but for who he was dependable, kind, and deeply respected.” 

Kojo’s time at Hubtel may have been brief, but his impact was profound. Beyond his technical contributions, he embodied qualities that resonate deeply within Hubtel’s culture, teamwork, respect, and a commitment to excellence done with humility. He represented the quiet strength that keeps teams moving forward, often without seeking recognition or applause. 

For many of his colleagues, his passing is a poignant reminder of the value of every shared moment and every small act of kindness that shapes a workplace. The QA department and the wider Hubtel family continue to honour his memory, remembering him not only as a colleague but as a friend. 

Kojo Akyer will be missed for his craft, his composure, and his humanity. And though his journey with us was short, the mark he left behind will remain for years to come. 

May his soul rest in peace.
