Bio
Marius Krooshof DipFA
Sheldon is an experienced business strategist and an expert in the business consulting field. He has high level of professional knowledge in FMCG companies. Due to Sheldon's international attitude and multinational work experience at Cisco and in the Big4 consulting he is an asset to any organization. I highly recommend working with Sheldon on any business consulting project.

I worked with Sheldon in Ernst & Young (Russia and the CIS) in 2006-2007. Sheldon established and launched Environment & Sustainability group and then took a challenging role as a Markets Leader for Business Risk Services group and Utilities Industry Leader. Due to efforts made by Sheldon in 2006-2007 E&Y BRS got a tangible boost in markets growth. I believe Sheldon is that one to whom all BRS should be thankful for the growth happened in 2007.
