Medium Rare Content Agency, and launching new digital networks such as Food Corp, the News Prestige Network and women’s network under WHIMN.

“But with the business soaring I’m ready to pass the baton to an exceptional team and pursue my entrepreneurial spirit,” she said.
Executive chairman, Michael Miller, highlighted Sheffield’s significant achievements over her time with news.
“With those achievements in place, I understand her desire to explore her own opportunities and I wish her well,” he said.
