Los Angeles, Calif. – Founder-designer Mossimo Giannulli’s G/FORE — golf’s most colourful glove, shoe and accessory brand — is excited to announce the newest member of its talented team: Domestic VP of Sales Jeff Greene.
A seasoned sales and product development executive with a focus on footwear, Greene has previously held top positions at Nike, Converse, Hurley International and Disney Consumer Products. His first-hand experience in creating and bringing to market both performance and lifestyle footwear has allowed Greene to forge longstanding relationships with some of the most influential footwear and apparel retailers in North America.
An avid golfer who also knows his way around a tennis court, Greene has worked closely with elite athletes in developing products that help them perform at the highest level in their sports. He now brings those deep connections and finely honed footwear skills to G/FORE, which already boasts relationships with some of golf’s most high-profile players and retailers.
“The opportunity to be a part of a premium brand like G/FORE — whose products combine the requisite performance attributes with a unique style and flair — is incredible,” says Greene. “I feel everything I’ve learned up to this point in my career has prepared me perfectly for this role. Plus, the chance to work with Mossimo is something I’m really looking forward to.”
Founder-designer Mossimo Giannulli is equally excited to have Greene join the company. “G/FORE represents the fusion of fashion, craftsmanship and technical performance at the highest levels — it’s a rarefied realm in which Jeff’s both incredibly experienced and highly regarded,” Giannulli says. “He’s a true pro.”
Since debuting its colourful line at the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show, G/FORE has become the brand of choice for a wide range of stylish golfers – from professionals like Robert Rock, Ricky Barnes, Alex Cejka, Rick Smith and Tommy Armour III to celebrities such as Wayne Gretzky, Bill Murray and Kings of Leon’s Nathan Followill to weekend warriors and clubhouse regulars alike.

Giannulli founded the billion-dollar clothing company Mossimo Inc. in 1987 and brokered a first-ever designer-exclusive distribution deal with Target in 2000. Rooted in the style established by golf’s Scottish forebears — dandified knickers, tartan sweaters and argyle vests — G/FORE promotes a simple evolution: colour. Visit www.gfore.com
