Scott Gould Honors Father Mitch Gould This Father's Day — Celebrating the Visionary Who Built a Four-Generation Legacy of Retail Excellence

This Father's Day, Scott Gould, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Nutritional Products International (NPI), is honoring his father, Mitch Gould, the founder and CEO of NPI and a transformative figure in health, wellness, and retail distribution. Mitch Gould represents the third generation of the Gould family's retail legacy, following his grandfather Saul Marks, who pioneered the closet accessory category in Brooklyn, and his father Jerry Gould, who grew that business from $250,000 to millions.

Entering the retail industry in 1986 and founding NPI in 2007, Mitch Gould reinvented the family tradition with his "Evolution of Distribution™" platform—a one-stop solution that revolutionized how global brands enter the U.S. market. He forged relationships with major retailers such as Walmart, Costco, GNC, CVS, Walgreens, and Amazon, building the foundation that Scott now helps lead.

"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. This Father's Day, I want the world to know that everything I do at NPI, every brand we bring to market, every deal we close—it's all built on the foundation my father created."

Scott reflected on Mitch's achievements, noting how his great-grandfather created an entire retail category, his grandfather grew that business significantly, but his father built something that changed the entire industry. The Evolution of Distribution is not just a business model; it is proof of what happens when vision, work ethic, and family legacy collide.

For Scott, this Father's Day runs deeper than any business milestone. "I don't show up every morning just because I work here," Scott said. "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. He is my mentor, my role model, and the reason I understand what it means to truly earn a legacy. On this Father's Day, I'm proud to be Mitch Gould's son—and even prouder to be carrying his work forward into the fourth generation."

Mitch Gould founded NPI with a mission to give global brands a turnkey path into U.S. retail, handling sales, marketing, logistics, and regulatory compliance under one roof. Since 2008, NPI has helped hundreds of domestic and international brands achieve their vision, establishing Mitch as a respected figure in nutraceutical and supplement distribution.
