LEHI, Utah, May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jared Turner, President and Chief Operating Officer at Young Living Essential Oils—the world leader in essential oils—was awarded a Silver Stevie^® in the Executive of the Year category in the 16^th Annual American Business Awards^®. The award recognizes executives' achievements in growing companies, inspiring employees, and driving the industry in which they serve forward.

Since joining the company in 2012, Turner has been influential in helping Young Living grow into a billion-dollar global enterprise by fusing his passion for nature with the company's purpose-driven core to unite 3,000+ employees, 4.5 million customers, and more than 17 corporate and partner farms on 6 different continents.

Under Turner's leadership, Young Living's 2017 sales surpassed $1.5 billion, and its revenues have grown 800 percent over the last five years. His love for the earth led him to work closely with D.

It's no wonder a Stevie Award judge made the distinction by adding, "It's great to see an executive rolling up his sleeves and getting involved in all aspects of the production process."
