This page seems to have been created by a closely related party. A quick web search matches the username of the page creator as an employee of this page's subject, and notability concerns have arisen. A14lbham (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

• Redirect to Entrepreneur First. Although authorship cannot be used to suggest a lack of notability, a quick google search failing to show many results does leave me suspecting he is non-notable outside of Entrepreneur First. A weak argument could be made for notability as he has been presented with an MBE as per WP:NBIO, but I don't believe this is enough to warrant for his own article.

• Delete - this has zero reliable sources, which is the bottom line for a BLP. We are not a webhost for resumes with links to LinkedIn. We are a charity. Bearian (talk) 03:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
