The lead section of the article mentions that Vernon had a 23 year career at Johnson & Johnson but the sentence in the "Career" section does not. The Bloomberg source mentions a 26 year career in the healthcare industry, principally at J&J but with the last three years with Ripplewood Holdings. Can we deduce from this that he was with J&J for more than two decades? Probably. But I think this needs to be stated in the referenced sentence in the career section to comply with DYK rules.

This article is new enough and long enough and the hook fact is now reliably sourced. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright/close paraphrasing issues. (I hope you will soon remove the major restructuring tag.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
