Joseph E. Thomure
Chairman/Managing Member
Joe Thomure is the Chairman and Managing Member of Prevent Plus and stepped out of retirement in 2018 due to his passion and earnest belief in Preventogen.
A graduate of the U.S Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, Mr. Thomure was called to active duty in the U.S. Navy, during which time he was promoted twice in three years, and eventually received his honorable discharge, pending LCDR in 1977. He began his business career in sales with Hallmark, and further refined his sales and consulting skills in executive and physician recruiting.
He founded his own recruiting firm, PracticeMatch, in 1987, bought out his competitors and IT contractors, partnered exclusively with the AMA, and then bundled the data into a physician recruiting database – a service concept that had never before existed. He sold this company for the first time in 1996, grouping with 11 other firms to form Caredata.com (stock symbol: CDCM).
After considering a brief retirement, he purchased a majority position from a NY venture group in IBNL,an early e-commerce company. As Chairman and CEO, he rebuilt the company as Virtual Source, and pushed value near $650 million while earning a NASDAQ listing (VSRC). He attempted retirement again, but when opportunity knocked, he answered by purchasing the assets of Caradata.com in bankruptcy court in 2000. This formed PracticeMatch Services, LLC, which he eventually sold to M3, a closely-held affiliate of Sony. He credits much of his professional resiliency from values passed down from modest beginnings. He believes there is little a company can’t do with a dedicated team, a spirited leader, and a groundbreaking product.
