Dame Sheila B. Driscoll
As the CEO of Dame Venturus, Dame Sheila B. Driscoll epitomizes the spirit of innovation and philanthropy, crafting legacies that transcend generations. With a heritage steeped in the Driscoll family’s century-long tradition of berry cultivation, Dame Sheila infuses her leadership with the richness of her lineage and the foresight of a visionary.
She stands as a living bridge from the verdant Pájaro Valley, where her great-grandfather Jeremiah Driscoll planted the seeds of what would flourish into Driscoll’s, the world’s premier berry company, to the hallowed halls of global influence. Dame Sheila’s acumen for intellectual property and capital ventures has left indelible marks across the realms of media, agriculture, education, and beyond.
