Vsource Names New Chief Operating Officer

Scott Turner has joined Vsource Inc. in Ventura as chief operating officer.

Jeri D. Sessler will assume the role of executive vice president of customer operations.

Turner will focus on enhancing internal company infrastructure and processes. He most recently was a partner in Holbrook Design, a product realization company that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing processes to accelerate production. He also sits on the board of directors of Scicon Technologies Corp., a company he co-founded in 1990.

“With the increasing marketplace demand for pure Internet E-procurement and the growing number of customer implementations, we determined that this change was necessary to fulfill our vision,” said Robert Jay McShirley, CEO and chairman.

Vsource’s flagship product, Virtual Source Network, allows companies to create an Internet-based system to automate all aspects of corporate procurement, including material requisitions, proposal requests and direct order from supplier catalogs or contracts.
