Article is new enough, long enough, hook is reliably sourced to national newspapers. Only thing I would change is to mention that he's the CEO of Roundy's, which makes the hook more interesting. How about "ALT1 ... that Bob Mariano, CEO of Roundy's, was denied from five medical schools and thirteen pharmaceutical companies before starting work?" It also gets around the problem that BLP DYKs should not be negative, which mentioning that he's a CEO of a major corporation, puts into perspective and neutralises.

Good idea. I approve of ALT1 and struck the original hook for clarity. ~hue sat lum 20:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

In that case, we are good to go for this one. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 20:40, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
