Austine Umudu is a seasoned environmental engineer and technical professional with an extensive career spanning quality assurance, dam construction and inspection, environmental compliance, and infrastructure development across Australia and Africa. As Managing Director of Glanville Group Pty Ltd, he provides the technical vision, engineering discipline, and operational leadership that underpins the Group's reputation for excellence.
Austine brings a rare combination of formal environmental engineering credentials and hands-on project experience in some of the most technically demanding environments in the infrastructure and resources sectors. His career has seen him lead and contribute to large-scale dam construction projects, conducting detailed structural and geotechnical inspections that have directly informed critical safety decisions. His expertise extends to the design and implementation of quality assurance systems for major civil infrastructure projects — work that requires not only technical precision but the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to both technical and executive audiences.
In the realm of environmental engineering, Austine has managed environmental impact assessments, compliance monitoring programmes, and regulatory liaison processes — equipping him with a comprehensive understanding of how infrastructure development intersects with environmental obligations. This knowledge informs the Group's approach to responsible, sustainable project delivery.
"Engineering is ultimately about responsibility — responsibility to the people who will use the structures we build, to the communities who live alongside them, and to the environment we work within. At Glanville Group, we carry that responsibility into every project, every inspection, and every client relationship." - Austine Umudu, Managing Director
Emmanuella Umunnakwe is a highly accomplished business administrator, corporate affairs leader, and change management specialist whose career has been defined by her ability to bring structure, clarity, and human-centred leadership to complex organisational challenges. As Director of Corporate Affairs & Strategy at Glanville Group, she provides the governance, people management, strategic consulting, and change leadership capability that enables the Group's businesses and its clients to grow and evolve with confidence.
Emmanuella's career spans the full organisational lifecycle — from the early-stage structuring and governance of new businesses through to the complex people dynamics of mature organisations navigating transformation. Her background includes senior HR management roles, where she led human resources functions through periods of significant organisational change, embedding new performance frameworks, managing employee relations in challenging environments, and building HR capability from the ground up.
Her specialisation in change management has been applied across corporate restructuring programmes, technology implementations, culture change initiatives, and merger integration processes. She brings both the methodological rigour of internationally recognised change management frameworks and the interpersonal intelligence to know when the human element requires more attention than the process. Her experience in corporate affairs encompasses board governance support, company secretarial functions, regulatory compliance, and strategic stakeholder engagement.
"Organisations don't change — people do. And people change when they understand the 'why', trust the leadership, and feel genuinely supported through the journey. Every change programme I lead begins with listening, and ends with people who own the new reality." - Emmanuella Umunnakwe, Director of Corporate Affairs & Strategy
