Depends. If either of the corporation's have restrictions on the officers/directors that they can not be officers/directors of another company, then no he would not be able to be the officer/director of both companies. Additionally, if these are publicly traded companies, the SEC may have some restrictions about officer/director of two companies if there is a conflict of interest. Otherwise, he could be a director/officer of multiple companies at the same time.

If these companies are private companies and there is nothing in the bylaws of either company restricting officers from being directors of other companies, there should be no problem. I am assuming that the employment agreement for Mr. Doe does not contain any restriction to the contrary.
