If high-profile in this context means famous then it is redundant. If a person is famous then, by definition, everyone knows they are famous. If they are not famous then calling them high-profile won't make them so. If it is truly world-class then you don't need to say it. If it is not world-class then calling it that won't make it so.
Low profile describes a person who avoids publicity.
