Draft:Henry Timms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: On behalf of Brunswick Group, I am submitting a draft article about business executive Henry Timms as part of my work at Beutler Ink. The subject is mentioned in several existing Wikipedia articles, including: 92nd Street Y, Mariko Silver, GivingTuesday, Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award, Jeremy Heimans, and Brunswick Group. Given my COI, which I've also disclosed on the Talk page, I will not publish the article to the main space and ask independent editors to review for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. For this project, Brunswick Group has provided feedback to ensure accuracy. I'm happy to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the review process. Thanks in advance.
