For someone with such a great past there should be more than enough evidence backing up his profile, like papers he wrote, talks he gave at conferences and such..
A remarkable point is at least, for all combos of his name and a company from his linkedin-profile, the first hit is always his linkedin-profile - doesn't increase confidence.
Btw: check this profile, too

"This person is connected to 0 Board Members in 0 different organizations across 0 different industries."
maybe another person, since this finding is not mentioned on his linkedin-profile ?!
http://www.oit.gatech.edu/content/about-oitminor inconsistency found:
http://www.solidoaktech.com/executive.html says Jim O'Connor is still executive
while linked in profile shows this as his past
quick google shots lead me the following results:

General Electric:
only found Matthew J. OConnor - same person ? If so why 'Matthew J' instead of Jim ??

http://www.insideview.com/directory/altior-inc => shows '

and this domain is registered, only - no content at all => very fishy
