While Ed Sheeran toured stadiums, his wife Cherry Seaborn built a 9-year career at Deloitte

Cherry Seaborn Sheeran, wife of global music icon Ed Sheeran, has unexpectedly found herself in the spotlight — not for her celebrity ties, but for her quietly accomplished corporate career. Social media users have taken a renewed interest in her professional life after discovering her LinkedIn profile, which details a long-standing role at professional services giant Deloitte.

According to her now-viral profile, Seaborn most recently served as a Manager in Deloitte’s Nature, Climate and Sustainability – Innovation; Scaling Impact team from August 2021 to March 2024. Prior to this role, she held various positions within Deloitte’s teams in both New York and London, steadily building a serious career in sustainability and climate-related consulting.

Her academic credentials are equally notable. Seaborn holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Business from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, a respected programme focused on embedding sustainability into global business strategy. In addition, she completed a Master’s Degree in Management Studies from Duke University in the United States.

Though Seaborn has long maintained a low public profile, her quiet professional accomplishments have struck a chord online. Many users on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) reacted with admiration at her career trajectory — particularly in the context of her high-profile marriage.

“She’s been at Deloitte for nine years, while married to a literal rock star. That’s awesome,” one user wrote. Another remarked: “I’d be afraid, if I married a rock star, that their fame would swallow me up.”
