LOS ANGELES — Susan Colvin, founder and CEO of CalExotics, was named Chief Executive of the Year in the 2017 XBIZ Exec Awards, held on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood.
“This is truly a team award,” Colvin said. “I have the hardest working team in the industry, and I am grateful to work with them every day. I’d especially like to thank some of CalExotics’ long-standing associates: Jackie White, Austin Ferdinand and Lupe Martinez. Their many years of dedication in every aspect of the business and countless hours of travel have helped propel CalExotics to the top — and I can’t thank them enough. This award is for you."
Colvin founded CalExotics 23 years ago, and a company spokesperson described her as “the first female CEO in the pleasure products space.”
