Irving Gould

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irving Gould (?-2004) was a Canadian businessperson credited with both saving and sinking Commodore. He gave the necessary funding to Jack Tramiel to keep Commodore running during several periods of financial problems. Irving Gould and Medhi Ali (then Commodore's Managing Director) have been accused of causing the death of Commodore in 1993-1994 by making a series of mistakes like trying to maximize profit by producing low cost equipment and mis-marketing the Amiga.[1] A joke from the time says that if Commodore would sell Kentucky Fried Chicken they would market it as "warm dead bird".
