PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a provider of AI-powered solutions that

Rechan has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer – a new role
to further enable the company to aggressively adapt and pursue
market and customer opportunities as businesses accelerate adoption

initiatives in a post-COVID-19 era.
In this new role reporting to Andres Reiner, PROS President and
CEO, Rechan is now responsible for all go-to-market and customer
experience and engagement functions to further scale and grow these
operations globally. A PROS board member between 2015 and May 2020,
Rechan has had an instrumental role in guiding the company through
major inflection points in its history, including the transition to
a cloud-first strategy, corporate acquisitions and introduction of
next-generation solution sets.
“Les has deep understanding of PROS, and he has an incredible
passion for customer success, innovation, strategic partnerships
and developing talent such that he will have impact on our business
quickly,” said Reiner. “We are witnessing unprecedented times, and
the need for digital selling solutions and defined paths to true
digital commerce are essential investments. With the talent and
experience that Les brings to this role, we will be strongly
positioned and better able to capitalize on the massive business
opportunity before us.”
Rechan is deeply familiar with the PROS vision, strategy, people
and culture, and has been a driving force in advising PROS strategy
to help customers leverage AI and cloud solutions to outperform. He
has lived and worked across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, and brings
more than three decades of experience scaling global operations and
building world-class teams for companies in the AI, Business
Analytics, and Enterprise IT industries.
“The relationship between buyers and sellers has been redefined
as businesses come through COVID-19 pandemic scenarios,
accelerating the digital transformation of the selling motion,”
said Rechan. “I look forward to partnering with Andres and the
entire PROS team to help customers accelerate the adoption of a
digital selling motion and grow our business together.”
