WP:BLP of a businessman, making no genuinely substantive claim of notability for much more than existing. The sourcing, further, is parked entirely on primary sources and directory entries; the closest thing here to reliable source coverage is a simple list of donors to a political campaign, which still fails to be substantive coverage. I have to imagine that for a person at this level of corporate management a good and properly sourced article is potentially possible, so I'm willing to withdraw this if the article sees improvement before close — but if "he exists, he gave money to Mitt Romney, the end" is really all you can say about him, and glancing namechecks in business directories and his own self-published profile on LinkedIn are really the best you can do for sourcing, then being a managing director of a company does not confer an automatic inclusion freebie or a "get out of media coverage free" pass. It also warrants mention that the article on Bain Capital fails to even contain a single mention of his name at all, which says something to me about how much prominence he has as a public face of the company.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - None of this suggests fully satisfying the applicable article notability guidelines and ensuring a better acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  08:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: I found a recent speculative piece about a house purchase (Palm Beach Daily News ) but I don't think that or the material content of the article amount to demonstrated biographical notability. AllyD (talk) 20:39, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
