He succeeds Dale Hageman, president of Oklahoma City-based Accord Human Resources.
“At a time when small businesses are looking for help with confusing healthcare changes and other administrative burdens, the professional employer organization (PEO) industry is perfectly positioned to fill that role and generate real growth,” said NAPEO president and CEO Pat Cleary. “Mark Perlberg is the exact right person to lead us as we aim to seize this opportunity and grow our industry.”

“As chairman, I look forward to working with industry leaders to support the critical role that PEOs can play in addressing the increasingly complex needs of small- and medium-sized businesses,” said Perlberg.
After beginning his career as a business litigation attorney, Perlberg co-founded a utility bill payment processing business, eventually negotiating its sale to Western Union, where he spent six years in management. Perlberg later spent four years as an officer of the John Harland Company, and was the chief operating officer of PRG-Schultz, the world’s leading recovery audit firm, prior to joining Oasis.
