Shamila never understood why strong, female role models were always in short supply when she was younger.
The Story of HERWIT
Witnessing her mother succumb to a battle with depression that claimed her life at the age of 42 marked a definitive turning point in her life. Recognising the influence that just one powerful, inspirational woman could have had in her mother's life ignited a fire in Shamila that burns intensely to this day. As an entrepreneur, a woman, and a person of colour, she is no stranger to adversity. She believes in helping others like you by teaching you lessons she wished she’d learnt sooner; by shaping you into leaders and role models that you are meant to be.
She set about changing this by working her way up into the upper echelons of Fortune 500 companies before building a reputation as an influential, business building entrepreneur. Acknowledgements of her achievements include being featured on the Asia Top 50 Female leaders list, an appointment to the board of Asia Content Marketing Association (ACMA), and becoming a non-executive board member of Brilliant Women Global (BWG).
From high-ranking positions in CNN to National Geographic Channel through to Fox International, she has established herself as a major player on the corporate scene in Asia, the US, and now Australia.
Like any woman operating in a high calibre business environment, Shamila set about building her own business. What the first lacked in terms of success, it made up for in vital lessons. Lessons that shaped the success of her second exited venture. Armed with these insights, her sights are now set clearly on empowering the next generation of female-led businesses to inspire women and girls across the globe.
HerWit is the culmination of
over 20 years experience and
a lifelong determination
to make a positive impact
on the world of business and
strive for equality.
