> He was formerly CEO and President of Bausch and Lomb Surgical in June of 2010. So he was in the position for... one month? Am I reading that correctly?

  From this it seems he was there at least until 2011: https://news.chapman.edu/2011/05/16/jerry-lewis-among-commencement-speakers/ https://news.chapman.edu/2011/05/16/jerry-lewis-among-commen... PR when he was appointed in 2010: https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/bausch-and-lomb-names-b-robert-e-grant-b-as-ceo-and-president-of-its-surgical-business-/ https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/bausch-and-lomb-na... Clearly the guy made a fortune from Botox, knows how to leverage that success and build an organization around buzzwords that attract investor money. To be fair, is that any worse than Silicon Valley VC?

He's linked a TEDx talk of his. Kinda figures. I suppose he couldn't tell the difference between that and a proper conference.

    there are good TEDx talks though and also several pretty low quality TED talks.

> Additionally, he has attended the President’s Seminar at Harvard Business School ('09-'16) I can only assume it refers to this: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/event/harvard-seminar-new-presidents-0 https://www.gse.harvard.edu/event/harvard-seminar-new-presid... Which is just an $8K six day seminar for college presidents who have no experience. But since he went 8 times, I guess that makes him a "Harvard Man".

I find it a bit depressing, really. He has multiple publications in unified mathematics and physics related to his discoveries of quasi-prime numbers (a new classification for prime numbers), the world’s first predictive algorithm determining infinite prime numbers, and a unification wave-based theory connecting and correlating fundamental mathematical constants such as Pi, Euler, Alpha, Gamma and Phi. This is his publications page: https://www.robertedwardgrant.com/publications https://www.robertedwardgrant.com/publications There is one preprint on arxiv and the rest seem to be self-hosted. So "multiple publications" seems to mean "stuff I put on the internet". The titles of the articles are also very hard to take seriously. "Four-Fold Mirror-Symmetry Inherent to the Icositetragon Distribution of Numbers" sounds like something that should be submitted to "The Journal of the Numerology Society" (A. Crowley ed.) and "Unified Mathematics, Geometry and Music" is basically a collection of occult diagrams. Also: typeset in MS Word.
