Putnam’s partnership with Ted is one of mutual respect and shared values. Like Ted, Putnam is performance driven and results oriented.

At the age of 10, Ligety was already a fierce competitor, focused on results, who skied powder and hit jumps with a precision and intensity that earned him the nickname “Ted Shred.” The nickname stuck, along with Ted’s propensity to successfully push the limits of ski racing. A two-time overall World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, Ted consistently delivers excellent performance. Clearly, Ted is as passionate about the sport as he is skilled.

Ted has also translated this passion from the slopes to the boardroom where he is president of Shred Optics, a line of cutting-edge goggles, sunglasses, and helmets.
