This Father's Day, Scott Gould, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Nutritional Products International (NPI), is honoring his father, Mitch Gould, founder and CEO of NPI, for building a four-generation legacy of retail excellence. Mitch Gould, a third-generation retail expert, has reinvented the family tradition through his 'Evolution of Distribution' platform, which provides a comprehensive solution for global brands entering the U.S. market.
Scott Gould reflected on the family's journey, starting with his great-grandfather Saul Marks, who created the closet accessory category from scratch in Brooklyn, New York. His grandfather Jerry Gould grew the business from $250,000 to millions, cementing the family's reputation. Mitch Gould entered the retail industry in 1986 and founded NPI in 2007, forging relationships with major retailers like Walmart, Costco, GNC, CVS, Walgreens, and Amazon.
'My father didn't just build a company - he built a blueprint,' said Scott Gould. 'Watching him take our family's Brooklyn roots and turn them into a global distribution powerhouse has been the greatest education of my life.' Scott emphasized that everything he does at NPI is built on the foundation his father created.
Mitch Gould's platform has helped hundreds of domestic and international brands achieve success in U.S. retail, handling sales, marketing, logistics, and regulatory compliance. For more information about NPI, visit www.nutricompany.com.
This Father's Day, Scott Gould expresses gratitude for his father's vision and work ethic, promising to carry the legacy into the fourth generation. 'I show up because I watched my father show up - for this company, for our family, and for every brand that trusted us with their future,' Scott said.
