LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce the nominees for the online industry and retail editions of the 2023 XBIZ Exec Awards, set to be presented during “XBIZ week” Jan. 9-15.

The annual XBIZ Exec Awards honor the best of the best from the adult business community for their outstanding creativity and leadership, celebrating exceptional career achievement across a wide variety of prominent industry roles. Nominees are selected based on a range of success factors including business acumen, community standing and overall leadership.

This year, two new categories were introduced for the online industry edition, to recognize creators/performers who have established a close, collaborative working relationship with their affiliated companies: Creator Brand Ambassador of the Year and Creator Businessperson of the Year.

The annual WIA Woman of the Year award, presented by Chaturbate, which turns a deserved spotlight on the outstanding career achievements of female business leaders, will also be presented at the ceremonies.
