EY US celebrates entrepreneurs shaping the future of business

MORRISTOWN, NJ, USA, April 29, 2026 – Seth Flowerman, CEO and Devin Stagg, President of PLT Health Solutions have been named finalists for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 New Jersey Award by Ernst & Young LLP (EY US). Now in its 41st year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world’s most groundbreaking companies, revolutionizing industries and uplifting communities. The program honors entrepreneurs whose innovations drive economic growth and help shape the future of business.

An independent panel of judges selected Flowerman and Stagg among other finalists based on their entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, company growth and lasting impact in building long-term value.

Flowerman noted: “We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Ernst & Young, one of the world’s most respected organizations in business leadership. This recognition reinforces our conviction that the future of natural products belongs to companies willing to invest in evidence, integrity, and long-term partnerships - and motivates our team to keep building toward it.”

Headquartered in Morristown, NJ, USA, PLT Health Solutions is an 80-year-old family-owned business. The company is a trusted discoverer, developer, and marketer of high-quality, scientifically supported ingredients that enhance health and functionality. As a leading ingredients innovator, PLT’s global network of strategic partnerships provides unique access to impactful solutions. Through its industry-leading expertise, scientifically supported ingredients, and deep relationships, PLT is committed to helping both its strategic partners and valued customers grow.

Seth Flowerman has been CEO of PLT Health Solutions since 2018, where he leads corporate strategy, growth initiatives, and global partnerships for one of the nutrition industry’s most established family-owned companies. A third-generation leader, he has led PLT’s evolution into a science-driven commercialization partner serving leading consumer health brands worldwide. Prior to PLT, he founded and sold a successful startup and was nationally recognized for his entrepreneurial achievements. He holds both his undergraduate and MBA degrees from Cornell University.

Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit.
