ThincHer — You’re in Charge 
About Sheree Sullivan
Sheree Sullivan is co-founder of Grünthal Brew, a brewery, restaurant and function venue at Verdun in the Adelaide Hills. She and Saul Sullivan took on the former Grumpy's Brewhaus site in 2022, and the venue pours its own beers and spirits alongside food and events.
Before Grünthal, she ran Udder Delights, a Lobethal cheesemaker making goat and cow's milk cheeses that grew into one of Australia's largest brie and camembert producers. She was chief executive in 2017 when Japanese dairy group Megmilk Snow Brand bought 90 per cent of the business. She studied jazz piano before moving into cheesemaking.
On ThincHer — You're in Charge with Sav Perera, she explained what near-failures at Udder Delights taught her about costing, cash flow, hiring and letting go.
