- I have drastically modified the article to help save from deletion. There are much better references from Fast Company, a published book (HBR), Le Monde, Brand South Africa, Business Wire, Forbes, NPR, Paris Match. I have also added neutral profiles from TEDx, Skoll, Echoing Green and a report from Seibel Scholars. It is true that the said personality maintains a low social image but this doesn't qualify the person to be WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG.

- Delete per analysis above. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:56, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete according to analysis of Domdeparis and K.e.coffman, in agreement with Piotrus on this. There are serious ethical issues regarding this article that have been raised, that it may be paid advertising to raise the profile of the subject of the article, and the article does indeed read like an advertisement.
