Shamini Rajerethnam is CEO of skincare brand Rationale.
Originally joining the business in 2011 as the Marketing and Digital Coordinator, she made her way up the ladder through various positions to end up finally sitting in the CEO’s chair.
Having worked in so many positions within Rationale, she has gained a truly unique insight into the business, that not many other CEOs could say they share within their own organisations. And as she says, it is one of her greatest strengths as a leader.
