CEO Change Announced by eDOC

Middlebury, Vt.-based CUSO eDOC Innovations announced Bret Weekes stepped down as its CEO to become CEO with Layton, Utah-based CUSO CUProdigy and Mark Fierro has been named Interim CEO.

According to eDOC Weekes, with more than 25 years of industry experience, led the overall strategic direction and corporate governance of the firm. He will continue to serve on eDOC Innovations’ board of directors and remain a stockholder of the CUSO. He is experienced in CUSO innovation and about creating collaborative environments that deliver value to the credit union industry.

“In the 20 years that Bret has served at eDOC, he has laid out a vision for the company that will guide eDOC for many years to come. He has built a strong foundation for future growth, including strengthening our team, evolving our products, and improving our operations. It is with a mix of sadness and gratitude that we say goodbye to him as our inspiring leader. He is leaving the company very sound and positioned for continued success. Everyone at eDOC wishes him the best of luck in his new endeavor as the president/CEO of CUProdigy,” Fierro, COO/EVP at eDOC, stated.

Chairman of the board of directors of EDOC Randy Karnes added: “Everyone on the eDOC board of directors and ownership team wish Bret the best in his new role at CUProdigy. We look forward to his continued work as an ongoing investor and partner of eDOC: Together, we have confidence in our team and our game plan for eDOC’s future. In the upcoming weeks we will have some key announcements about what is next for eDOC, but today is about celebrating a peer taking on new challenges. I am sure he will do well.”

Regarding his new position as Interim CEO, Fierro said, “I am excited to accept this position as the Interim CEO and I look forward to working with the Chairman, the Board and the excellent management team at eDOC Innovations with whom I have worked for many years. I have every confidence that we will maintain the business’s current momentum and continue to deliver our strategy focused on becoming the best integration partner, providing safe, compliant, and intuitive solutions to the credit union industry.”

Fierro joined eDOC Innovations as an account manager in 2000. During his 18-year tenure, he rose to EVP/COO. Responsible for the day to day operations of the CUSO, he has managed the executive leadership team and frequently interfaces with key clients and partners to ensure that CUSO objectives are achieved and relationships maintained.

“Our board had worked with the CEO and management of eDOC to ensure that we had an executive management team that was capable and who we trust to lead us through this interim period,” Karnes stated. “Mark has been a quality leader on that team for years. It’s only natural, given his attention to client needs, his knowledge of our operations and staff, and his desire to push eDOC forward, that he would take the reins during this next phase in our firm. Change is opportunity. I am sure Mark will make the most of it alongside our management team in the next few months.”
