SurePeople Appoints New Senior Vice President of Performance Solutions


CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - October 27, 2015) - SurePeople, a global provider of cloud-based intelligent learning and talent performance solutions, officially announced today that Anne Prendergast has joined the company's leadership team as its new Senior Vice President of Performance Solutions.

Prendergast brings more than 20 years of experience in leadership and organizational development to SurePeople. Over the course of her career, she has worked with Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, consumer goods and telecommunications industries, including: The Coca-Cola Company, SABMiller, Mobile Telephone Network of Africa and Jackson Health System in Miami.

As the SVP of Performance Solutions for SurePeople (www.SurePeople.com), Prendergast is responsible for helping customers identify and eliminate their performance barriers while creating large-scale learning infrastructures that align organizational capabilities, transform leadership teams and dramatically advance employee development efforts.

"Selecting, developing and retaining the best talent is critical for all industries and organizations these days, especially within the healthcare sector. The U.S. population is aging rapidly, the Affordable Care Act has brought millions of new patients into the system, and there is a significant shortage in qualified professionals and skillsets to meet their needs," says Prendergast. "Large healthcare organizations can remove the performance barriers that exist across their teams and ultimately meet and exceed patient satisfaction levels using SurePeople's intelligent learning, development and hiring solutions."

Prior to joining SurePeople, Prendergast spent more than seven years as the Director of Leadership and Organizational Development for Jackson Health System -- an internationally recognized academic medical system and healthcare services provider that employs more than 11,000 physicians, nurses and staff.

While at Jackson Health System, she created and facilitated a frontline leadership development program with the organization's top 500 executives, directors and managers. Prendergast also directed its efforts to align patient, physician and employee surveys and implemented an action planning process which positively impacted Jackson Health System's employee engagement results and value-based purchasing.

"Anne has an innate ability to diagnose organizational issues, align people and processes and create solutions that drive performance and results for a company and its employees," says Niko Drakoulis, Founder and CEO of SurePeople. "Her leadership experience and insights into the healthcare arena have already been instrumental in forming new relationships in the industry, as well as cultivating sound approaches for our customers to reach all of their employees with the right learning and development opportunities."

During its year-long soft launch phase, SurePeople added a significant amount of experience and insights to its leadership team. In addition to Prendergast and Chief Innovation Officer James Brooks -- whose executive coaching and leadership development work has been noted in publications like Fortune and The Wall Street Journal -- several other industry leaders have recently joined SurePeople, including Juan Antonio Ruiz-Hau and Demetra Anagnostopoulos.

SurePeople's leadership team is a values-driven and interdisciplinary group of professionals with deep expertise across all aspects of the field. This ensures that SurePeople's world-class technology and its client solutions are based on a wide range of best practices combined with an understanding of the pressures and reality of driving a business forward in a complex and rapidly changing world.
