Sheila serves on the executive committee of the World Economic Forum and the leadership team of its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, working with public-, private- and third-sector actors around the world to advance the adoption of new technologies in the global public interest.

She currently focuses on blockchain, digital assets, data policy and the integration of new technologies with new data governance models.
