Alexia Grevious Henderson is taking another step forward in her communications career.
The Fort Mill, South Carolina native is a Clemson University graduate with a degree in communication studies, where she helped establish the school’s first digital foundation and athletic video department, as AFROTECH™ previously reported. Her career experience includes working in digital communications at the NCAA before joining the Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Redskins) as its corporate communications manager from 2015 and 2017, according to information on her LinkedIn profile.
She has since been working for Magic Johnson Enterprises. She rose from senior manager of marketing and communications to director of marketing and communications, and by 2023 to vice president of strategic partnerships and marketing.
Along the way, she secured an MBA from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School in 2020. She was also featured in Diverse Representation’s “The Ten to Watch in 2022” and Sports Business Journal’s 2021 “New Voices Under 30,” according to a press release.
Henderson has now earned another promotion, recognized for her work in marketing and communications, her management of corporate partner relationships, and her oversight of contractual partnership obligations. She will serve as president of Magic Johnson Enterprises.
“Alexia’s leadership, creativity, and strategic thinking have been instrumental in driving revenue and elevating our brand,” said Chairman Earvin Johnson of Magic Johnson Enterprises in the press release.
“She is one of the brightest young minds in today’s business world. Her astute business acumen is one of a kind and she has done a marvelous job managing our partners across all lines of business, constantly overdelivering to ensure that we maintain MJE’s commitment to excellence. I am thrilled to see her step into this well-deserved role,” Johnson continued.
Henderson commented on LinkedIn:
“Grateful is the only word that sums up how I’m feeling. I’m so excited about this next step and humbled Mr. Johnson sees me as more than fit to lead his incredible enterprise. When I came to Los Angeles 8 years ago, I didn’t know what was on the horizon, but took a leap of faith for an opportunity I didn’t even know existed. My biggest goals in life have always been to make my family proud, be someone little me could look up to, and lift others up in the process, the same way so many incredible bosses and mentors have done for me. I hope that my journey inspires others to stay humble, work hard, and accept when others speak greatness over you. God is incredible and continues to open doors I’ve never imagined. All glory to Him! It’s only up from here.”
