XBIZ Exec Awards to Honor Pleasure Products, Retail Professionals at XBIZ 360

LOS ANGELES – XBIZ is pleased to announce the first-ever XBIZ Executive Awards honoring unmatched career success in various fields within the pleasure products and retail sectors.

The month-long pre-nomination period to submit industry peers begins Nov. 18 exclusively through XBIZ.net.

Companies may nominate their clients’ distinguished staff members as well as those among their own executive team. Selections will be based on a multitude of factors such as overall leadership ability, business savvy, market experience and industry standing, as well as the volume of nominations received from the community.

First introduced at the 2013 XBIZ EU international digital conference in London, the XBIZ Executive Awards celebrates individuals achieving the pinnacle of their professions by playing an integral role in fueling the success of their brands. Based on the overwhelming response from the adult business community, XBIZ is pleased to expand the scope of XBIZ Exec Awards program to honor outstanding career achievement within the pleasure products and retail sectors.

“The rapid growth and mainstreaming of pleasure products, and coinciding restructuring of the retail landscape would not be thriving without the efforts of truly progressive company executives,” XBIZ President and Publisher Alec Helmy said. “Honoring career excellence within these rapidly evolving markets was a natural next step.”
