He was a consultant who was brought in by Irving Gould. Irving was looking for ways to get rid of Thomas Rattigan.

For some reason Irving and Thomas (CEO of Commodore) really didn't play nice together. History has placed the blame with Irving.

This consultant made the report built to order, and reccomended that Rattigan got fired, and Irvin was happy to oblige, and rewarded him who shall not be named with the job has CEO.

A joke from the time says that if Commodore would sell KFC they would market it as "warm dead bird"
