F4D’s Eco Award

Amy Green

Amy Green is a philanthropist, global ambassador, former sports journalist, and one of New York’s most fashionable women. She was born in California and attended Ohio State University. After graduation, she was offered a job at Wyeth and went to work with Chiron before seizing an offer from FOX Sports Network to have her own show. She attracted national attention—and the attention of the man she would marry: American businessman and entrepreneur Gary M. Green, CEO of Alliance Building Services. The couple founded the Green Vision Foundation, a philanthropy that brings together like-minded organizations to collectively support conservation and humanitarian global initiatives. These include Tusk, an innovative conservation action in Africa under the patronage of the HRH Prince William, The Prince of Wales; ACCF (the African Community and Conservation Foundation), an umbrella organization for initiatives such as the Rwanda Project and the Malila Ngwe Trust in Zimbabwe; and here in the United States, Habitat for Humanity, UNICEF, and the 100 Billion Meals Challenge. The couple regularly hosts star-studded galas at their homes to support these, and other, causes. ELYSIAN publisher Karen Floyd met Amy at her family’s home in midtown Manhattan, high atop One Vanderbilt, Manhattan’s newest skyscraper, near Grand Central Station.
