“Sheker is a high performance and achievement driven individual. His sharp intellect, "can-do" attitude and decisive operating style makes him among the top 5% of all executives I have met and worked with. Sheker brings a strong instinct to effective people management which enables him to get his team to stretch and deliver discretionary effort far beyond their normal abilities. As a team leader and project manager, Sheker can pull diverse resources together to accomplish complete high value projects and meet tough deadlines. Sheker is a world class executive”.

“I have worked with Sheker at APC where he headed the HR and South Asia Business Operations function in India. He brought a lot of dynamism and change to the function through his passion for making a difference. This is a hallmark of every assignment he undertakes. A function managed by him will need 4 extra people to continue his work if he chooses to leave, without the guarantee of results he brings to the table. That's the true impact he has had at APC. Besides people, Sheker is also extremely passionate about the real estate industry where he has had a long innings and his strong people focus enables him to deliver superior results. He is the go to guy when a company needs to emerge from chaos or from poor morale and needs to introduce a culture of performance that truly values people”.

“I am working on finally setting up staff performance meetings and wanted to thank you Sheker for the various templates you created for me.I also wanted to take this time to thank you specifically for the type of good quality things you had done while you were at this firm. You have left pieces of yourself here at the office that I will continue to increasingly find a value for over the time I develop the law firm”.

If it has to be a precision job, I have always known Sheker to be the one person who you can rely on. For operational efficiency and organizational skills, you need not look elsewhere. He is comprehensively able and reliable and innovative in his approach to any task assigned to him. Give him his package and demand yours will be my mantra.
