Deletion
The whole thing needs junking and starting again. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. You gave only four references, one of which is to his own site, not independent. Most of the awards are not referenced to independent sources
 * The article is massively spammy
 * We have a list of his restaurants, not once, but twice, including the infobox
 * We have a largely unsourced list of awards
 * We don't have any boring non-promotional stuff, like turnover, profits, number of staff etc. Has the company ever received negative publicity? Who are its competitors?
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: internationally acclaimed... television personality... brand ambassador... leading international restaurant group... 40 concepts... is praised for elevating Latin American dining in each market he has a presence, and nine of his restaurants have been voted best in their category... combines authentic Latin ingredients with international flavors and inventive techniques to create new and unexpected concepts and cuisines... &mdash; and on and on in the same promotional vein. This is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising forum

 * Three external links to related sites, you should have just one to his official website
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * I didn't check for further copyright infringement because the text is unacceptable anyway, but note that copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
