Delete. WP:BLP, with significant advertorial overtones, whose only substantive claim of notability is as an expert in PowerPoint presentations. There's literally no evidence here of any reliable source coverage about him in sources that are genuinely independent of his own self-published self-promotion; the references are entirely to primary sources (such as his own company's website, the websites of organizations and conferences he was a direct participant in, and press releases), unreliable blogs and Amazon sales pages for his own books. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to get someone over WP:GNG just for being CEO -- even his company wouldn't qualify for a Wikipedia article under WP:CORP on the basis of sources like these, let alone its CEO separately qualifying for a BLP just because he's a CEO.
