Entrepreneur
and inventor Maurice Kanbar founded SKYY Spirits LLC in 1992 with the launch of
the company's first product, SKYY Vodka. In less than 10 years, SKYY Vodka has
become the second-largest super premium vodka brand in the United States (number
one domestic brand). For six years consecutively, SKYY, one of the fastest-growing
vodkas in the industry, experienced double-digit growth with a 35% increase from
1999 to 2000 and a 19% Case Aggregate Growth Rate (CAGR) from 1996 to 2001. Kanbar,
a native of San Francisco, reached success during early years of his career through
numerous brands of inventions, from food products to mechanical equipments. Kanbar
says his greatest pleasure in life is providing financial assistancs to those
who can benefit from it. He not only provides financial support for numerous nonprofit
organizations, but also goes out of his way to find and support young artists
so that they can concentrate solely on creation and innovation. He believes that
we have to endlessly find new ways to help those who are in need.
