KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- iHerb Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Emun Zabihi has been named a recipient of the EY US Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 Pacific Southwest Award.

The company said Zabihi was selected from nearly 1,000 programme participants, including 592 finalists across 17 regions.

According to iHerb, Zabihi has led the company through a period of international expansion and innovation since assuming the CEO role in 2021, strengthening its position as a global wellness e-commerce platform.

“This recognition is a testament to the remarkable team members who bring our mission to life every day,” Zabihi said in a statement.

He said the company remains focused on innovation, customer trust and delivering quality customer experiences as global demand for health and wellness products continues to grow.

Regional winners were selected by an independent panel of past winners, top CEOs and business leaders based on criteria including entrepreneurial spirit, purpose-driven leadership and business impact.

As a Pacific Southwest award winner, Zabihi will advance to consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum.
