Commodore Gaming Comes Home

Commodore Gaming has announced the opening of its new North American Headquarters in Stanford, Connecticut. The company has also hired Bill Sims as Vice President of North American sales.

“Commodore Gaming will now be able to ensure North American customers get the same level quality and service that has been offered overseas,” said CEO Bala Keilman. “By opening a US office we can better serve the country where the original Commodore was born and show our commitment to bringing the fastest and most beautiful computers available to the US.”

Commodore Gaming, founded in 2005, is aiming to make a comeback in the PC and gaming industry. The original company put out the VIC-20, C64, and Amiga computers before filing bankruptcy in 1994.

Sims comes to Commodore from EA bringing with him 17 years of experience as its eastern regional sales manager. He will be responsible for implementing a retail program for both for online and big box retailers. Sims will also mine new channels for sales expansion and ensure US branding stays consistent with Commodore’s overall goals.

“Bill Sims knows the industry like no one else and we are extremely proud to have him join our family. His unparalleled experience in the gaming industry will enable Commodore to win in a market where we are the clear price/performance leaders,” Keilman said.
