An Orgie Company Exec Just Landed a Major Industry Nod

Jessica Brown · 2026-10-29

Every so often, someone working quietly behind the scenes in this industry gets a moment in the spotlight. That's exactly what's happening with Massimo Artioli right now. Artioli serves as export manager at Orgie Company, and he's just been nominated for Business Development Exec of the Year at the 2027 XBIZ Exec Awards. If you follow the adult retail and pleasure products world even casually, you know that's not a small thing. ### What This Nomination Actually Means The XBIZ Exec Awards recognize the people who keep this business moving — the ones handling partnerships, opening markets, and building relationships that turn into real growth. Business Development Exec of the Year is a category that rewards exactly that kind of work. For Artioli, the nod reflects years of pushing Orgie's brand into new territories. Export management isn't glamorous on paper. It's logistics, negotiations, time zones, and a whole lot of follow-up. But when it's done well, it opens doors that entire companies walk through. ### Why Export Work Deserves the Attention Orgie Company has built a reputation in the adult wellness space, and a big part of that reach comes from people like Artioli who understand how to bring products to markets that don't always make it easy. - Building distributor relationships across borders - Navigating local regulations and compliance requirements - Adapting product positioning for different cultures and buyers - Keeping communication tight between headquarters and international partners That's the day-to-day. It rarely makes headlines, which is part of why a nomination like this carries weight. ### The Bigger Picture for 2026 and Beyond The adult content and products industry is in a strange, exciting stretch. Platforms are consolidating, creators are diversifying, and international markets are opening up faster than many companies can keep up with. In that environment, business development talent becomes a genuine competitive advantage. > "The people who move this industry forward aren't always the ones on stage. Sometimes they're the ones on a call at 3 a.m. closing a deal in another time zone." That's the kind of work the XBIZ Exec Awards were built to honor. And having an Orgie name in the mix signals that the company is being watched — in a good way. ### What Happens Next Nomination is step one. The actual award decision comes later, and the competition in a category like this is always stiff. But regardless of how the vote shakes out, being shortlisted puts Artioli and Orgie Company in front of the right people. For anyone tracking where the adult industry is heading in 2026 and into 2027, this is one storyline worth keeping an eye on. The companies that win the next few years will be the ones with sharp people building bridges abroad. Artioli, by the looks of it, is one of them.
