Neil Marshall, who has been with Prolifiq since 2000 as a key member of the executive team, will assume the newly created role of Chief Marketing Officer.

Marshall, a founding investor in Prolifiq, is also a former Accenture consultant. Pearson's arrival allows him to focus his energies on driving Prolifiq's strategic marketing initiatives and managing the expansion of Prolifiq's products and services. Prior to joining Prolifiq, Marshall managed the development and introduction of new products for GE, Intel and numerous others during a 10-year consulting career.
