In 2005, Shitta-Bey joined Capital Express Securities Limited as Chief Operating Officer, and continued a variety of capital market mandates including the Private Placement and eventual listing of MTS First wireless, after which he decided, in 2008, to put full time effort in managing a private financial consultancy partnership, Grant Alsthom Consulting Limited.
