If it's only their involvement with the publicly traded company then include a blurb about them in the article. Perhaps a redirect to that section from the name.
When a person's project, company, singular achievement is the pretty much the only noteworthy thing about them we're all better off if we instead write about that thing and not about the person. In those cases any article about the person will either be a POV fork of the article about that thing in disguise, an uninteresting and unencyclopedic yet invasive laundry list of factoids about the person, or some mixture of the two.
How is Daniel Brandt related to Overstock.com? Sure you aren't thinking of Patrick Byrne?
