Heidi is the co-owner and Managing Director of Walker Seafoods Australia (WSA), the nation's largest company specialising in wild-caught tuna and swordfish. Walker Seafoods is renowned for its Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Swordfish, and Albacore.

WSA operates five vessels and employs a dedicated team of six skippers, thirty-three crew members, a shore-based management team, including a Fishing Master, and a permanent processing/export team. Their premium seafood is supplied throughout Australia and exported fresh to the US, Japan, and Europe.
