"Grateful for the opportunity to share my journey, lessons, and vision in this interview with The Guardian."
Chinenye Florella Nwankwo is the Director of Business Development at Infuxion Communications Limited. She discusses her leadership journey, vision, career challenges and opportunities with GREGORY AUSTIN NWAKUNOR
My journey to becoming Director of Business Development at Infuxion Communications has been both organic and intentional. It all started when I made the deliberate decision to return to school to study Media and Communication, a move that laid the formal foundation for my career in this space.
Following that, I interned at a reputable PR agency, which at the time was widely regarded as a “university of public relations” due to its strong reputation for producing some of the industry’s finest practitioners. Many of its alumni now lead communication teams across sectors, and it was there I truly gained practical exposure to the art and science of PR.
Since then, I have taken on a variety of client-facing roles, gradually building deep expertise in stakeholder engagement, media strategy, and client growth management. Over the years, I developed a strong interest in development-driven narratives and strategic visibility. Joining Infuxion allowed me to merge that passion with business development, driving meaningful client relationships while shaping our growth trajectory. My current role is a culmination of years spent understanding the intersection between corporate influence and public perception.
