Contested PROD. I don't think this person passes the notability guidelines for biographies. Most of the sources in the article don't cover the subject in any detail, or fail our guidelines on identifying reliable sources. The most likely-looking source is this one from SCIP Insight, but according to the article, the subject was a regional coordinator for them, so it may not be truly independent. I couldn't find any other sources online. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable. Lack of independent coverage.  The article fails to explain any concrete contribution he's made to any business-related displine: if he's really notable as a thinker there should be a summary of his ideas and their impact, explaining his unique contribution.  Instead there's just a lot of stuff about the positions he's held and the non-notable awards he's received.  If he'd written a book that's received media attention, been in charge of an important company, held a senior academic position, or been widely acknowledged in business or consumer media, that would be probable grounds for notability, but he doesn't seem to have done any of that. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:32, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete subject to later creation when better sources could be found. I saw only a single reliable source at Marketing magazine, but it only mentions what he does in passing an an article about industrial spying.  I think that he fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.
