Does not meet WP:BIO -- the sources in use here involve incidental mentions, and while he is a CEO the companies are relatively small/minor. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 13:46, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for WP:PROMOTION.  Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG or WP:BIO.  Interviews are WP:PRIMARY and being quoted in story about something else doesn't cut it.  Msnicki (talk) 16:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete — Search results lead me to believe the subject falls short of WP:GNG: few reliable third-party sources, several statements made by the subject but about the actual topic of coverage, and passing mention. The subject also falls short of WP:ANYBIO for his corporate achievements and positions, and WP:PROFESSOR is a far cry. I found very little that could make an encyclopedic biography.
