Digital Entrepreneur Liz Holland Talks about Sensory Product Design
2024-02-03
Liz Holland inherited the entrepreneurial gene from her inventor father, who held over 100 patents. As a young woman, she observed her father's work and learned about engineering and automatic warehousing systems. Unfortunately, her father passed away when she was only 20, leaving her to navigate the professional world on her own. Frustrated with the leadership of other companies, Liz decided to take matters into her own hands and became a successful CEO herself. Her determination and inherited genes have led her to create a name for herself in the business world.
