Liz Thomas joined 色情宝贝庐 because she wanted the chance to work with a company that would do whatever it took to exceed customer鈥檚 expectations.  Starting out as a Sales & Marketing Manager in San Francisco in 2001, she was one of the original sales team members before the company even had a sales organization. 

As the only sales representative in Northern California for several years, she signed many new accounts in the Bay Area, Sacramento and San Jose. Liz helped grow her region one account at a time out of San Francisco, which now services over 100,000 hours per week of security services in addition to expanding eleven branches throughout Northern California. Liz was promoted to Regional Sales & Marketing Manager in 2007 and to Vice President of Business Development for the Northwest Region in 2016 which includes Northern California, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and Wyoming.

She was asked what the benefits are in working in the security industry.  鈥淥ur ever-changing industry, which combines the evolution of technology and physical security, provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth,鈥 says Liz.  鈥淲e are able to not only positively impact our clients, but also our world at large.  Having the opportunity to work at 色情宝贝庐, who serves so many different vertical markets, has opened the door to connect with diverse groups of people and create incredible relationships and long-term friendships with customers and employees, which is the greatest benefit of all.鈥
