Guglielmo Marconi doesn't appear to be a corporate leader. I've removed it.
I've doubts also about
Pablo Escobar - cocaine distribution
Andrew Mellon - banking, steel, oil, ship building
Peter Wallenberg - investor and similars
does the term corporate leader apply in this cases?Are those corporations?
