Industry is the greatest fact in her life; wifehood and marriage are but incidental relations. Little wonder Tina VukorQuarshie offers a rare education in human industry and romance. Like two reflections from the same mirror, Tina’s exploits as a professional and her romantic entanglements offer contradictory images of her life. Tina has undoubtedly distinguished herself as a force worth reckoning with in the world of business and industry.
Painstakingly, she has made excellence her watchword and thereby rose to enviable heights in her career. This much is noticeable in her appointments as two-time Executive Director in Platinum and Zenith Banks respectively. the same could hardly be said of her marital life: the professional Amazon was once married to Dr. George NovisiQuarshie, a Ghanaian lecturer whom she met when she was a student of the then University of Ife; now ObafemiAwolowo University (OAU). They were together for almost a decade before their marriage hit the rocks.
Though she was also involved with a top banker whose brother was also a bank MD, she never had it smooth-sailing with men. Shortly after her dalliance with the bank MD ended, she got involved with Ben Bruce, the boss of the Silverbird Group whom she eventually had a son named “Cody” with. Their romance was widely celebrated by the nation’s soft-sell media even as it Bruce’s legitimate wife and almost wrecked his home. But for the intervention of the Bruce brothers, it would have done just that. Even so, Tina and Bruce seem to have devised an ingenious way to sustain their relationship as they practically work together now. And their very handsome son, Cody has really come of age. He’s no longer the baby of years ago.
