Very borderline, but I couldn't establish he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Successful but not notable. Boleyn (talk) 17:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep -- CEO of a significant off-shore company. Eisfbnore  (会話) 21:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm sorry to bother you, but just because you are a CEO of a big company doesn't mean you are automatically notable or pass GNG. Kori  ( @ ) 17:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I found quite a bit of sources like this one, and this one. Kori  ( @ ) 17:15, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Agree with nom, might be successful, but not notable. The two previous keep votes are not compelling. Being a CEO does not automatically make someone notable. In the second vote presents two 'sources'. One is just a standard Bloomberg profile directory entry (which there are thousands of) the second is some obscure, unreliable site that put him on their "wall of fame". The site looks like it is some site for a convention? Either way nothing reliable about it, and being fully independent from the subject can't be confirmed. In my search on this subject, I only see WP:ROUTINE coverage of hiring/firing stuff. No WP:SIGCOV that would denote WP:GNG or WP:BIO Sulfurboy (talk) 20:12, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. CEOs are not necessarily notable4, but they should be considered notable--and generally are-- if the companies are as famous as this one.
 * Strong Delete CEO is not inherently notable, regardless of company size. Does not meet WP:GNG as lacks significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Sources cited by Koridas are business profiles, not significant coverage. XVDC (talk) 13:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per Sulfurboy. The sources presented above are especially unpersuasive, and while there's bits and pieces referring to him there's no substantive, non-ROUTINE, independent secondary coverage that I found. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 02:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. A discussed enough person, in a standout field of business. Geschichte (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
