Anton Colella
... that Anton Colella, the CEO of Moore Global, began his career as a theology teacher?Sources: "The Glaswegian religious studies teacher's appointment as a deputy head in Castlemilk in 1999 sparked a rocket-like career trajectory" ... after graduation Colella "chose to become a teacher of RE" (Herald); Colella "has no obvious background for his new role, other than one in a challenging leadership position, having been a religious education teacher in the Catholic sector before moving into school management" (TES)

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Please check the reorganization that I did on the article. The lead is rather cluttered and does not need any of those uncontroversial cites. The hook is okay, but I'm wondering if it would attract more attention to speak of him becoming the CEO of several organizations, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, without having an MBA?

- @Arbitrarily0: What interests me is his heading an organization of accountants without any background in accounting! What about:

... that in 2006, Anton Colella became chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, though his only qualifications were teaching Catholic theology?Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I like this! I could also see this working without "in 2006"; either way. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 23:06, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. So let's write:
- ALT1a: ... that Anton Colella was named chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland though his only qualifications were teaching Catholic theology?
Since I proposed the hook, we need someone else to complete this review. Pinging Kingsif or evrik for help here. Yoninah (talk) 23:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
