(Nasdaq:PRGX), a global leader in Recovery Audit and Spend Analytics services, today announced that Mark Morel has been named Chief Product Officer, responsible for overseeing all aspects of product management and ultimately ensuring PRGX’s market leadership in Recovery Audit, Supplier Information Management and Source-to-Pay Analytics. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Morel served as President and Chief Operating Officer for Intradiem, Inc., an enterprise SaaS/Cloud-based software company that automates management processes. Before Intradiem, Mr. Morel served as the Managing Partner for two private investment firms based in Atlanta.

“We are excited to have Mark join PRGX,” said Ron Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We look forward to leveraging his significant leadership, technology and SaaS/Cloud experience as we continue to execute our transformation strategy.”

In connection with Mr. Morel’s employment, on February 13, 2017, the Company granted equity awards to Mr. Morel consisting of 8,500 shares of restricted stock, 12,750 performance-based restricted stock units (PBUs), and options to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
