PROVO, Utah, Nov. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Prosper, Inc. recently announced that Tom Stockham, former CEO of MyFamily.com and former president of Ticketmaster has joined their Board of Directors.
Tom Stockham joined Prosper, Inc.'s Board of Directors to help steer the company toward greater success amongst their students and employees. He remarked, "I hope to be a key member of the company's leadership team as we create the single most influential company in helping individuals grow their personal market capital."
Stockham said of his vision for the company, "I believe Prosper can become a key force in helping millions of people realize their professional and financial potential. Almost everyone feels like they're capable of more in their professional life, but most people don't know how to apply their skills and knowledge in new ways that will achieve more. We don't get that kind of structured learning from a traditional education. I hope I can help Prosper improve its products and services, grow its audience and customer base, and extend its range of services from very high-end personal coaching to online community support that will teach people how to accomplish more."
Mr. Stockham has more than 15 years of leadership experience in consumer-facing technology companies.

Prior to his role at MyFamily.com, Stockham was the president of Access and Emerging Markets at Ticketmaster, the world's leading ticketing and access company.
Stockham holds a Master of Business Administration from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College.
