We were introduced through a former guest, Chris Hare. And right away, I knew we spoke the same language. Real talk, human-centric ideas, and sharp thinking with no fluff. Sienna started college at 14, interned at the Weinstein Company by 17, and later led music and content at Spine Glass Media.

Today, she is the CEO and co-founder of Notera, a B2B software company helping large enterprises control the risk of employment litigation and automate HR compliance. And yes, AI plays a big role in that. In this two-part series, We talk about chasing excellence without burning out, navigating boardrooms as the only one in the room, and why equity has to be measured if you want it to matter.

You've spent over a decade in the TV and film industry, including time at the iconic Weinstein Company, which, as we know, produced many major movies. Just a few weeks ago, I rewatched Kill Bill, one of my all-time favorites. But of course, there are many others. How did you first get into TV and film? Was it a childhood dream? A deep passion for entertainment?

By the way, I also really enjoy The King's Speech. Colin Firth was fantastic and the whole production was beautifully done. So you started off as an intern and eventually joined full-time. Your role was more behind the scenes, exactly what you were doing there.

And like you said, it was a lean, high efficiency team doing a huge volume of work. So you had the chance to touch almost every area. How did you feel about the experience?
