The American Business Awards named Vemma Nutrition Company’s CEO and Founder BK Boreyko “Executive of the Year” in the Health Products and Services category Friday, June 13 at its 12th annual American Business Awards event in Chicago.
Known as the “Oscars” of the business world, the American Business Awards recognized BK Boreyko with its top honor, the Gold Stevie award.

Vemma was also presented with a Bronze Stevie award for the Verve Leadership Academy in the Internal Recognition/Motivation category.
Vemma EVP of Marketing and Brand Development, Mark Patterson commented, “It is a huge honor to receive these two Stevie awards and be recognized alongside other major U.S. brands. I want to congratulate BK on his win and am proud of the entire Vemma team for their outstanding efforts throughout the year.”
Stevie award winners were selected by more than 240 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process this year.
“It’s an honor for us to recognize and celebrate such an outstanding class of organizations and individuals,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The judges were especially discerning this year. All of this year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners should be proud that the judges recognized their achievements and their ability to express those achievements in a way that captured the judges’ hearts and imaginations.”
