A long-serving staff member, Igbokwe joined Cutix Plc in 1992 and has held several key positions across the company, including leadership roles in Enterprise Assurance, Commercial, Finance, Administration, Human Resources, and the Anuka Plant. Her broad cross-functional exposure has been credited with enhancing operational efficiency and overall corporate performance.

She holds a Higher National Diploma in Accountancy from Federal Polytechnic Oko and is currently pursuing postgraduate studies at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam. She is also a Certified Lead Auditor in Quality Management Systems and an Associate of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria.

In addition, Igbokwe has participated in several executive training programmes, including courses at Lagos Business School covering supply chain management, marketing, and interpersonal skills. She also attended a management development programme organised by Tom Associates.

With her extensive experience and professional background, the company expressed confidence in her ability to provide steady leadership and drive strategic objectives during the transition period.
