His younger sister Jody used to be the deputy at Vulcan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jody_Allen She left in 2014: https://www.geekwire.com/2014/jody-allen-leaving-vulcan/ It was meant to be a sabbatical: https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/techflash/2014/10/vulcan-ceo-jody-allen-steps-down-amid-controversy.html But when poor old Paul Allen died in 2018, Jody took control of Vulcan and his >$20Bn fortune. She started firing people in 2019: https://www.geekwire.com/2019/paul-allens-vulcan-holding-company-cutting-jobs-sources-say/ And they sold off his yacht: https://www.sportscasting.com/you-can-buy-seattle-sports-mogul-paul-allens-superyacht-plus-his-submarine-for-325-million/ The sports team was left to run itself: https://thespun.com/nfl/nfc-west/seattle-seahawks/report-pete-carroll-seattle-seahawks-owner-coach But of course COVID-19 changed everything: https://www.seahawks.com/news/vulcan-inc-and-the-paul-g-allen-family-foundation-announce-efforts-to-support-se Vulcan Productions shut down: https://www.vulcanproductions.com/who-we-are Then this year, (largely) post-COVID, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) took over: https://www.geekwire.com/2021/allen-institute-ai-takes-vulcans-portfolio-environmental-big-data-projects/ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/allen-institute-ai-takes-over-190008690.html -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
