Ron Woestemeyer was a co-founder of PROS in 1985. PROS was established as a software company to address customers' problems revolving around revenue management, and price optimization.

Ron is an experienced executive who has focused on quantitative and analytical tools to help companies solve the most challenging pricing problems. At present, Mr. Woestemeyer continues his intimate involvement in planning new products, developing new concepts for PROS systems, and providing overall direction and strategy. Before founding PROS, Mr. Woestemeyer spent 14 years at Continental Airlines and Texas International Airlines in various management and executive positions, with responsibility over sales and marketing.
