This page is about a moderately high level corporate executive, but I think fails to meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG notability guidelines, and may violate WP:NOTRESUME. From the first time I encountered this page, it struck me as more of an online "resume" (especially if you read early versions soon after creation) and has been tagged for improvement for several months. Many of the sources are inaccessible, and those that can be viewed are not very substantive - largely a mix of trade publications, press release reprints, corporate profiles, and other publicity material. Other sources are so old as to not be verifiable. Overall, it does not seem this subject has made an encyclopedic level of impact on their field. -- Netoholic @ 18:12, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only major source I can find (outside of his own websites and online directories) is to Global Custodian, which is a trade newsletter (and not a leading one) in custody. There is no mention to him that I could find in any main newspaper (e.g. Financial Times, WSJ, New York Times etc.), which for a financial-person is a red-flag.  I could take any "full partner" of Warburg Pincus and their name would appear in several of these papers (due to the scale of their deals).  Article is very promotional and unlikely to be written by an unconnected edotir. Britishfinance (talk) 15:39, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
