Sharrieff Mustakeem(CEO)

After 11 years in marketing in brand management and sales as a district and regional manager  for two large consumer products companies, Sharrieff Mustakeem spent 10 years in financial services, the final three years of which he spent owning his own brokerage firm.  The early years of MCX Environmental Energy Corp. (“MCX”) were devoted to the sales and servicing of micro-turbine electrical generation units for Capstone (a leader in micro-turbines),  and the development of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) models.  MCX teamed with Dr. Richard Glick, former co-chairman of the chemistry department at Florida State University, who had developed a proprietary AD system.  MCX acted as technical consultants to Duke Energy in building a digester in Greensboro, NC at that City’s landfill. The gas was sold to a nearby textile mill and the City gave away the organic compost to City residents.  This early activity in these areas paved the way for the development of the sustainable energy and infrastructure applications that MCX currently has for project development.  Under Sharrieff’s guidance, MCX has developed a unique one of a kind holistic energy-infrastructure solution, ideally tailored for Africa.  

Sharrieff has been invited to present the MCX/MCXEEI solution to the African Union Conference in July of 2018.
