Tremiel for the Win

A holocaust survivor, Tremiel (pronounced truh-MEL) emmigrated from his native Poland to the US.  A driven entrepreurer with an adeptness for technology, he soon started companies importing typewriters and adding machines.  But, as those markets became crowded, he pivoted to making electronic calculators.  When his calculator chip supplier, Texas Instruments, finally recognized the market potential of these calculators for themselves, they stopped shipping parts to him.  Snubbed, he pivoted his genius once again to a future in computers.  He built the renowned computer company, Commodore.  These low-cost, highly capable machines swamped the computers of his old supplier, Texas Instruments, and drove them to leave the home computer space.  Meanwhile, Commodore blossomed.  Tremiel for the win.

Later, after an abrupt exit from his company Commodore, Tremiel bought out Atari's console and computer business, which at the time was reeling from the video game industry crash of the early 1980s.  From there, he organized the blitz design of the Atari ST, which also blossomed in the market with its low price and high performance -- in doing so, displacing the Amiga, Commodore's entrant into the 16-bit era.  Jack again for the win.  As he once famously said, "I don't believe in compromising.  I believe in winning."
