Emun Zabihi, Chief Executive Officer of iHerb, has earned a spot on The CEO Forum Group’s “Top 10 CEOs Transforming Healthcare” list for 2025, highlighting his growing influence in the global health and wellness industry.
The annual ranking celebrates executives whose leadership, innovation, and long-term vision are reshaping how healthcare and wellness are delivered worldwide.
Zabihi was selected for his role in expanding access to trusted wellness products and for driving innovation within the digital health-commerce space.
Leadership Focused on Global Wellness
Since taking the helm at iHerb, Zabihi has helped scale the company into one of the world’s most advanced health-focused e-commerce platforms.
Today, iHerb serves millions of customers across more than 180 countries, with a strong emphasis on product authenticity, transparency, and consumer trust.
Rather than operating as a traditional healthcare provider, iHerb plays a unique role in preventive wellness.
By making vitamins, minerals, and supplements widely accessible, the company supports individuals in maintaining essential micronutrient levels, an increasingly important factor in long-term health, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare services.
This prevention-first approach not only empowers individuals to take control of their well-being but may also help reduce broader healthcare costs over time.

Commenting on the achievement, Zabihi credited the iHerb team for the honor, emphasizing the company’s mission to help people worldwide prioritize their health.
He noted that iHerb’s combination of accessible pricing, trusted products, and evidence-based wellness content is designed to help customers make informed decisions about their health, regardless of location.

According to Reiss, Zabihi’s commitment to accessibility and transparency reflects the kind of leadership capable of transforming an entire industry.
