Comment: Fails WP:GNG: has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. References that I could access (two could not be verified from Europe) are either strongly affiliated with the subject, or routine/passing mentions. Also wary of vague 'weasel words' in places ("worked in progressive roles" ... "oversaw or operated in multiple facets of the team's business departments") Paul W (talk) 12:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
