Peace Hyde joins TIME Africa as Director of Global Strategic Partnerships

Peace Hyde changes scenery, but not ambition. The British-Ghanaian producer, presenter, and media personality has been appointed Global Strategic Partnerships Director of TIME Africa, an appointment announced on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. A highly visible new chapter for someone who has built, over the years, a bridge between television, media, entrepreneurship, and African culture.

In her new role, Peace Hyde will be responsible for developing TIME Africa’s international partnerships and identifying new editorial and commercial opportunities, particularly around original intellectual properties aimed at African and international audiences. The announcement was made by TIME Africa on Instagram and was shared during the day by several Ghanaian media outlets, including YEN.com.gh and News Ghana.

This shift comes after more than a decade spent in the Forbes Africa universe, where Peace Hyde notably held responsibilities in digital, partnerships, and West Africa coverage. Her trajectory has never been limited to journalism: she has also established herself as a producer, presenter, and media entrepreneur, with a prominent presence in high-audience formats across the continent.

For the entertainment public, her name remains particularly associated with Young, Famous & African, the African reality TV show on Netflix that she created and produced. This exposure takes place in a context where Netflix is also strengthening its distribution in Francophone Africa. This blend of glamour, celebrities, rivalries, and pan-African ambitions has increased her visibility far beyond Ghana and established her among African professionals capable of bringing local stories to a global audience.

A New Playground for Peace Hyde

At TIME Africa, Peace Hyde therefore arrives with a profile at the intersection of showbiz and strategy. The stated mission focuses less on personal exposure and more on building bridges: partnerships, new projects, and content capable of traveling from one African market to another. This evolution is consistent with a career in which she has often alternated between on-screen roles, production, and behind-the-scenes work in the industry.

The appointment has already sparked a wave of congratulations on social media, notably from colleagues and followers praising a new milestone in her career. TIME Africa presents itself as an independent editorial team produced in collaboration with TIME and aimed at audiences on the continent.

For Peace Hyde, this arrival primarily marks the beginning of a phase where her influence could be measured less by her airtime and more by the projects she will help bring to life. After Forbes Africa and Netflix, the Ghanaian thus adds TIME Africa to an already extensively pan-African career.
