Request to edit from article subject's representative

Dear Policy Reformer

We represent Yusuf Alireza and noted a few inaccuracies (and out of date info) on his Wikipedia page:

His current summary states: Yusuf Abdulla Yusuf Akbar Alireza (born August 1970)[1] was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Noble Group, the Hong Kong energy conglomerate, and a Fortune Global 500 company, before being fired in May 2016.[2] He was born in Bahrain.[3]

We would suggest: Yusuf Abdulla Yusuf Akbar Alireza (born August 1970) is CEO and Co-Founder of ARP Global Capital, a Dubai based Investment Management Platform. He was formerly the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Noble Group, the Hong Kong energy conglomerate, and a Fortune Global 500 company, before resigning in May 2016. He started his career in 1992 at Goldman Sachs where he spent 20 years. Yusuf was born in Egypt and grew up in Bahrain. He has a dual Bahrain/UK nationality.

Please note that Yusuf resigned and was not fired as his current summary states. I've attached a link to the Singapore Stock Exchange Announcement and on Noble's website as the official sources. https://links.sgx.com/1.0.0/corporate-announcements/KQB7O1TJZ29M5QOL/993e90a9fa4a3846890708fe89b54fb2a84a45ffc5045eb8a7daea97b9aadcef http://www.thisisnoble.com/newsroom/1117-sgx-announcement-by-noble-group-3.html

His Career current states: Yusuf Alireza became chief executive officer and executive director of Noble Group in April 2012,[5]succeeding Ricardo Leiman as the head of the Hong Kong-based global supply chain manager of energy and agricultural products. Alireza transitioned the company to an asset-light model and was forced to sell the firm’s Noble Agri business to the Chinese company Cofco Corp after Noble was accused of fraud by Iceberg Research.[6] He was fired in May 2016 after Noble's share price fell by 76%.[7][8] Prior to joining Noble Group, he was co-president of Goldman Sachs's Asia operations, excluding Japan, and a member of the firm’s Global Management Committee.[3] He began working at Goldman Sachs New York in 1992, transferring to the firm’s London office in 1997 and becoming the Head of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) sales and structuring efforts. He relocated to Hong Kong in 2008, where he managed the Asia Pacific securities division of Goldman Sachs.[9]

We would suggest his career should state: Yusuf Alireza founded ARP Global Capital in June of 2018 with his co-founder Krishna Rao. Both Yusuf and Krishna are former senior partners of Goldman Sachs. ARP Global Capital is a multi-asset investment platform based in Dubai that invests in global public and private markets. Prior to this, he was CEO of Noble Group from April 2012 until he resigned in May 2016 (site sources from the Singapore Stock Exchange above). Yusuf began his career at Goldman Sachs where he spent 20 years working between New York, London and Hong Kong. In his last role before retiring, he was co-president of Goldman Sachs's Asia operations, excluding Japan, and a member of the firm’s Global Management Committee.[3] He began working at Goldman Sachs New York in 1992, transferring to the firm’s London office in 1997 and became the Head of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) sales and structuring efforts. He relocated to Hong Kong in 2008, where he managed the Asia Pacific securities division of Goldman Sachs.[9] Yusuf is currently on the Board of the National Bank of Bahrain (site link below)and Centre for Contemporary Arab Studies of Georgetown University (site link below). He also serves on the Board of Room to Read, a charity which supports children in low-income communities by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.

Thank you for your help. Putney123 (talk) 14:21, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Per above, this appears to be a request to edit from a possibly paid editor. As such, I alerted the editor to relevant policies on my talk page. Because I'm a bit less active lately, I didn't want to jump in and possibly be delayed in responding to others. If anyone wants to take a stab at making this WP:NPOV, WP:RS, and WP:COI compliant, feel free. I suggested the user follow-up here. Thanks everyone for your work. --Policy Reformer(c) 15:43, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Policy Reformer. Appreciate the help. Just to confirm, I am not a paid editor/not receiving any financial gains for making any changes/edits. Putney123 Putney123 (talk) 14:37, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
