Shelia Kissane-Marshall

Boutros Bear Ltd was founded after Sheila’s own diagnosis and treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Albeit the treatment included the latest cutting-edge therapeutics including targeted therapies, there was little available to support her physical and mental rehabilitation and return to work.

Sheila has raised significant investment from a number of Cambridge based investment funds and angel investors. This enabled the creation of a team of technical and clinical experts to create Boutros Bear, which provides extensive rehabilitation programmes for people who have, cancer, chronic pain, menopausal symptoms and mental health conditions.

Prior to this Sheila’s career started out with a degree in Engineering (Aeronautical, Mechanical and Civil) from Queen Mary and Westfield (part of UCL). After graduating in 1998 she specialised as a Civil Engineer and joined AMEC. Over the course of her 20 years in the construction sector she gained a breadth of experience working as; Contractor, Designer, Consultant and Client. Project Managing a vast portfolio of projects, from; Runways and Taxiways (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Dublin, Edinburgh) to tunnelling (Westminster station, Jubilee line extension) to rebuilding the M25 and M11 and associated bridges, and the Shard at London bridge. She also worked as the Infrastructure Director for a privately owned Aerospace and manufacturing company, supporting the development of a major rehabilitation of the runway. These experiences have provided Sheila with an ability to scale a company rapidly, whilst working with international teams. As well as ensuring Boutros Bear achieves it’s mission of transforming the lives of our programme participants.
