Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an organizational founder, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for organizational founders. As always, just being president of an organization is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage about him and his work -- but four of the seven footnotes are newspaper op-eds where he's the bylined author of the content, and the other three are his "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of companies or organizations he's been directly affiliated with. But people aren't notable just because they have profiles in their own employers' staff directories, nor do they get over the bar by being the author of media coverage about other things -- the notability test involves being the subject of media coverage written by other people. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing to support it than just his own self-written content.
