Australia

Greg Norman

Director And while his well-documented wins on the golf course secured him a spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame, he continues to work at both his game and his business career which promises to succeed long after his playing days are behind him.

Greg’s many years in Australia have accustomed him to the campaigns waged nationally to mitigate the effects of Skin Cancer, particularly amongst youngsters. His signature broad brimmed hat worn on Golf Courses throughout the world has been his strong public message that the sun’s rays are not to be underestimated and shade should be encouraged. When approached to be a Director and shareholder in Sky Shades Holdings LLC, Greg enthusiastically embraced the concept of spreading the message among young and old of the dangers of the sun’s UV rays.

Having lived in the U.S. for the past 25 years, he too observed that Americans were slow to recognize the need for shade, and expressed excitement in being part of an opportunity to spread an Australian technology across the U.S. Not only was this seen as a unique business opportunity, but it fulfilled his other goal of lending his name and image to help in reducing the incidence of cancer. Greg has for many years been an enthusiastic contributor to the National Childhood Cancer Foundation, and he already has supported the drive to help prevent the scourge of skin cancer among American children. Indeed, the American Academy of Dermatology had already made Greg their spokesman in national publicity campaigns warning the American public of the consequences of skin cancer.

From the business point of view, Greg’s role in evaluating the profile of Sky Shades Holdings cannot be underestimated. Whether in designing golf courses across the world, in spreading the value of Sky Shades among his high net-worth colleagues, in introducing the Company to key individuals in the U.S. and overseas, Greg has greatly assisted in building on the image of Sky Shades.
