Careers
Sheree graduated law school and was hired by one of the top companies in Melbourne. Encouraged by an entrepreneurial spirit combined with the desire to nurture a social enterprise, Rubinstein decided to abandon the limits of 'high-level' law firms for advocacy for women in business.
One Roof Establishment
In 2015, Rubinstein joins US-based strategist Gianna Wurzl to find One Roof with bases in Melbourne and Los Angeles. The initial iteration of the One Roof model sees the conversion of less used physical space, to turn it into a shared workspace that supports women in business. The goal is to combine traditional support such as networks, events and workshops, and access to legal, financial, fundraising, and communications services, with less traditional support such as yoga and meditation classes.
While the Los Angeles and Sydney branches turned into virtual networks, not using physical space, the Melbourne branch, run by Sheree Rubinstein underwent enormous growth. In April 2016, One Roof took over space at Southbank building a dedicated office space as well as a work space. One Roof estimates it has involved 10,000 women, in four cities, and held more than 500 workshops. Rubinstein continues its relationship with the charity One Roof, SHE, run by Melbourne-based non-profit YGAP, which seeks to foster female entrepreneurs through its accelerator programs in Kenya, South Africa and Australia in an effort to improve the lives of women and women.
