Victoria, BC, June 17, 2015--(T-Net)--Procura, a leading global provider of software and solutions to home health agencies, community care agencies, hospice and residential care agencies, announced today that it has named Christopher Junker as its new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, including all related subsidiaries.
Chris, an experienced software CEO with a proven track record in expanding innovation and driving quality development at high growth software companies, replaces Scott Overhill, who served as Procura's CEO since April, 2014.
Mr. Junker will be called upon to drive Procura's organic and transaction growth objectives, both in North America and abroad.

With the support of the Company's strong leadership team and valued employees, we will ensure that our innovative product offerings and revenue growth remain superior,” indicated Chris.
“The board set out to find an experienced CEO that could lead us through this period of unparalleled growth and product line expansion, while maintaining focus on the customer experience,” says Mike Greenough, Chairman of the Board, Procura. “I am confident we have identified the right person as Chris has an impressive career and brings a wealth of sales and product experience to this role. He has consistently achieved exceptional results by focusing on the customer as well as product content and performance, creating an enhanced user experience.”
Added Mr. Greenough: “As we continue to expand our product offerings, including the delivery of superior cloud based applications for our customers, we have asked Mr. Overhill to return to his former role as Chief Technology Officer and to spearhead our product innovation and quality initiatives. His unmatched technical and industry expertise will help ensure that Procura maintains its leadership position.”
Added Chris: “I'm extremely excited to be part of a company that, in the past year alone, has realized significant growth, and whose strong foundation is built upon a 22 year legacy in the marketplace. The continuing evolution of the healthcare industry provides multiple opportunities for Procura's future growth and expansion worldwide, and my goal is to continue to advance while consistently bringing additional innovative, cutting edge technology to market.”
Mr. Junker has over 20 years of experience in enterprise software with a focus in billing, content management, and big data. Most recently, Chris held the CEO post at Microsystems, Inc., a document analysis software company serving the legal and life science industries.
He also served as the CEO at SpringCM, a cloud enterprise content management firm and Fios, Inc. (now DTI), a cloud e-discovery software firm. Prior to that, Chris held the position of general manager and worldwide vice president of sales for the legal and professional services industry at Interwoven, which was acquired in 2009 by Autonomy Corporation Plc in a transaction valued at approximately $800 million. At Interwoven, Chris led the company through 21 consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth and operating margin expansion.
In his ongoing role as CTO, Scott Overhill will focus on product strengthening and development. “I am extremely pleased that Chris has decided to join the Procura team and my goal will be to ensure we are providing world class products and service to our customers, while working closely with Chris to expand our global footprint,” indicated Mr. Overhill.
