Cheryl Bart

A little bit of Deja Vu ... Ex-Mallesons’ woman makes good … To celebrate the appointment of Bellevue Hill businesswoman Cheryl Bart to the board of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation we’ve dug up her telling session On the Couch 

From Justinian August 1996

Cheryl Bart is a director or ETSA Corporation, Sydney Ports Corporation and a member of the Advisory Board of PA Consulting Group.

She is also on the fundraising committee of the Bell Shakespeare Company. Ms Bart began her career as a banking and finance lawyer at Mallesons Stephen Jaques and from 1990 to 1995 was national business development director of Mallesons.

Husband Fred has been in the bedding business through his company Sleeping Giant Pty Ltd.

(Since she opened a vein on Justinian’s couch Cheryl has gone on to conquer new heights, including getting to the top of Mount Everest in 2008 with her daughter Nikki.)
