Sunetra Sarker is a distinguished actress celebrated for her diverse and high-profile career, captivating audiences with her versatile performances in both television and film. Brought up in Liverpool with her Indian family, she garnered initial recognition as a teenager for her portrayal of Nisha Batra in Channel 4's "Brookside" from 1988 to 1991. Subsequently, she was one of the four leads in Channel 4's cult hit, "No Angels."

Sunetra then established herself with a nearly nine-year stint as Dr Zoe Hanna in the long-running British medical drama series "Casualty," from 2007 to 2016. This portrayal of the dedicated and straight-talking doctor resonated with audiences and earned her critical acclaim. After her time on "Casualty," she has consistently added high-quality credits to her portfolio. These include leading roles in "Safe House 2" for ITV, five series of "Ackley Bridge" for Channel 4 (winning the Asian Media Award for best character 2019 and the Yorkshire RTS Best Actor 2022), and the BAFTA-nominated "Informer" (co-starring Bel Powley and Paddy Considine).

She has also appeared in various television shows such as "Dr. Who," "The Bay," "Cold Feet," and the final series of "Broadchurch," bringing depth and authenticity to every character she embodies. Sunetra’s debut at the RSC in David Edgar's adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" received high praise from critics. More recently, she played a lead in the 4-part heist drama 'Desperate Measures' alongside Amanda Abbington and Warren Brown. She is currently filming as a lead in the fourth episode of "Professor T" for ITV and as a guest in "Breeders" for Sky.

Sunetra is a regular face on several non-scripted shows, including "Gogglebox" and "Loose Women," and she hosts her own podcast, 'Self Care with Sunetra'.

When the World was shutting down Andrea stepped up as the new CEO of one of the most established and decorated clubs in Premiership Rugby. From the beginning of the pandemic, Andrea was thrown right into the deep end having to lay off over 30 staff, say goodbye to 5 important players, deal with leakages to the press, get acquitted with her new role, and save the club from a financial and health crisis. Through her determination in bringing the club together, working with a re-shuffled board, and the now England coach Steve Borthwick Leicester came back after having nearly being demoted to winning the Premiership the following season. In this episode, I was very privileged to hear from the first female CEO in Premiership rugby, to learn about her leadership strategies, both her goals and lessons from the club, Leicester’s analytical approach, and her wider thoughts about the game itself.
