LAS VEGAS — PurchasePro.com Inc., in a move to return to profitability, said it will cut 50% of its work force to under 300 people and realign its senior management team.

The provider of electronic business-to-business services on Monday also announced that its president, Shawn McGhee, resigned effective June 30 to accept another position.

PurchasePro, a one-time hot Internet upstart, is under pressure to perform following an embarrassing string of first-quarter earnings adjustments. It is also the target of multiple shareholder lawsuits.
