This is an Authentic Interview with Danielle Fitz-Hugh, the CEO of the Chesterfield Chamber.

In this episode, you hear us talk about:

  • How winning a pageant lead her to the start of her career and then goes on to share her career history that clearly no one could have ever planned.
  • She talks about her opportunity to become “Chief of Staff” at a famous winery which is a title she did not ultimately get.
  • Danielle’s story about falling into the Chamber world by using the chamber as a selling tool in her pre-chamber sales job.
  • She talks about the difficulty she had leading 17 team members at the age of 23 and how high performers aren’t always ready to be promoted.
  • Danielle has a great story about not winning the Chamber Executive of the Year without her knowing she was nominated only to win the honor a year later.
  • She also shares a story about a time when her Twitter account was hacked.
  • and much, much more.

I’ve known Danielle for a little over a year now as the top Chamber executive in Chesterfield County. I often say that she is the right person at the right time who is now taking the Chamber to a new level.

I enjoy knowing Danielle and glad to call her a friend and even a partner in promoting business success and growth in Central Virginia.
