Sliquid Celebrates 2 Nominations From 2022 XBIZ Exec Awards

DALLAS — Sliquid is celebrating two nominations from the 2022 XBIZ Exec Awards, retail edition, for Senior VP Colin Roy and company founder and owner Dean Elliott.

Nominees were selected based on several success factors including leadership, business acumen, community influence and overall career achievement as submitted by members of the adult industry via XBIZ.net.

Voting for the 2022 XBIZ Exec Awards is now open. Industry members may cast their votes here.

Eliott earned a nomination for "Chief Exec of the Year."

"Holy smokes, I am truly honored to receive this nomination, especially this year," he said. "We’ve had to overcome many struggles with supply chains, filling and nationwide transportation. We spent several months with unusually low product levels, but we kept our staff in place and the lights on."

“A huge 'thank you' to my dedicated team, our wonderful distribution partners, fabulous retailers, industry family and the amazing folks XBIZ,” Elliott continued. “I also congratulate my senior VP, Colin.”

Elliott was previously recognized with a 2016 win for “Businessman of the Year"; Colin Roy was cited as a nominee for the "Senior Leadership Award" for the seventh time.

"It's been a challenging year for all of us, making this year’s nomination for this prestigious award extra-special," he noted. It’s great to be recognized alongside many of my fellow colleagues across the pleasure products industry."

"You know what they say, the seventh time's the charm," Roy quipped. "I have my fingers crossed."

The XBIZ Exec Awards will be presented as part of the annual XBIZ Honors ceremonies, with the online industry edition hosted on Jan. 5 in conjunction with the XBIZ L.A. conference and the retail edition on Jan. 11 during the ANME/XBIZ Show.
