More details to this question:
Currently, I have an L1A visa and my company is processing now my green card but I have an overwhelming job offer that will sponsor me for H1B. Can my green card application be continued with the other company? Will I be blacklisted by the immigration? Please advise.

Generally from L-1A to green card is to file EB1 visa petition, which is different from the H-1/PERM, second or third preference route. You cannot "port" your existing I-140 petition based on your multinational manager position to other company. The new company must start a new application.
