No. Those are two entirely different problems.
A notary signs only that the person in front of them has been checked
to be who they say they are. That's authentication. A Notary cannot
attest that what is on the document is valid.
A CxO signing that the request is valid is Authorization to speak for
the company. Different spectrum.
