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.
