Business executive does not meet WP:NBIO- notability is largely inherited from McKinsey & Company management consultancy. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 00:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * He is notable in his own right because of the work he has done. While McKinsey provides a platform, Manyika seems to be a big figure in current thought around technology, automation, and the future of work, in a way that can't be blamed solely on his position. The New York Times brought him in to speak on the topic, and he's often interviewed on subjects in that area. Moreover, I'm pretty sure he meets point 3 under WP:AUTHOR just for his work on the recent Race in the Workplace report, which isn't even in his main field. He played a major role in writing it, the report is significant, and it has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles. GenomeFan92 (talk) 18:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'm supporting the keep of this article as the subject is regularly featured as a subject matter expert in major news publications, as mentioned by GenomeFan92. That works for me as passing WP:GNG. Saying you can't work for a business and represent that business in decent media coverage is sort of irrelevant. It would be like saying a Michelin-starred chef who gets interviewed about food a lot is not relevant enough to have her own article because the interviews always mention she owns the famous restaurant.
