Sheena's first career was in the fast moving world of publishing, engaging with global corporates in business and media partnerships on behalf of Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal. It was there that she was entrusted with the recruitment of corporate teams and where she began to appreciate the importance of responsible leadership.
