Vanity page. Seems to be copied from his corporate bio. Chuck 18:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC) Ooops, looks like the entry didn't tell the whole story. He is no longer just CEO of a division, but is now President and member of the Board of Directors of the parent. Two different things IMHO. Keep
 * Keep The CEO of a major financial firm seems notable to me. This page needs to be cleaned up and wikified, but that is not aloen a reason to delete. I couldn't find any page this seemed to be taken from on a quick google search, if this is a simple cut&paste of an online corporate bio, it should be tagged with copyvio and dealt with accordingly.
