21 Talks with Elizabeth Lloyd, A Woman Who is Rocking' It, Houston Rockets Group Sales Account Executive

There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.” – Author Unknown

On this segment of 21, we talk with Elizabeth Lloyd, Group Sales Account Executive with the Houston Rockets.

On 21 we like to highlight career opportunities that are related to sports even if you are not a professional athlete. Elizabeth is a super example of someone who has navigated a career within sports management/operations.

Elizabeth grew up around athletes and sports, and while attending Texas Southern University she was inspired to connect her degree in Communication and Public Relations to a job with a professional sports team.

In her position with the Houston Rockets, Elizabeth manages client relationships with corporations and other large groups. She puts the needs of her clients first; always delivering a first-class experience on game day.

Elizabeth will be the first to tell you that a job with a professional sports team is not about “glitz & glam,” but is one that requires a lot of hard work and long hours. Elizabeth’s success is the result of her grit, willingness to network, and ability to understand that sometimes hearing ‘no’ is part of the game. She is tough as nails in a field that is still largely male-dominated, and she serves as a role model for other women who are starting their careers in sports and entertainment.

Elizabeth’s favorite role is that of Mom to her children. She is also a leader in our community through her volunteer efforts, and she serves as an Executive Advisory Board Member for the NBA Retired Players Association in Houston.

Elizabeth rocks!!!
