TORONTO, Ontario (March 5, 2009)—Nike Golf Canada has announced the appointment of veteran sales executive Greg Hubert as its new Director of Sales.

Hubert brings 15 years of senior sales experience to his new role, including four years with Nike Canada where he most recently held the position of Category Business Director, Athletic Training.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Greg Hubert to our team,” said John Sibley, General Manager of Nike Golf Canada. “Greg has excellent leadership and business development skills, and he will be a tremendous addition to our group. I'm confident that the result will be positive growth for Nike Golf Canada.”
