Clinical trial financial management leader intensifies commitment to build a best-of-breed AI-powered platform with investment in an industry product veteran

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ledger Run, a leader in clinical trial financial management solutions, today announced the hiring of former Cytel and Oracle product executive Anne Pelz as Vice President of Product as the company strengthens its commitment to developing its AI-powered, end-to-end financial platform. Pelz brings more than two decades of life sciences technology experience to the company.

After earning her undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at Yale University and MBA with a concentration in new product development from MIT Sloan School of Management, Pelz launched her career in product management at PHT Corporation, later acquired by Clario. She led the development of what became Clario's cornerstone mobile tool and then joined Parexel, where she managed the development of medical imaging software and served as a solutions consultant for the company's eCOA division. Pelz went on to serve as vice president of product at Cytel where she helped build and launch a clinical trials management platform before joining Oracle in a similar executive role.

"I am very excited to work with Ledger Run's deep-domain experts who understand the unique financial workflows in a clinical trial and apply innovative modern technology to create efficiency gains – ultimately, empowering humans to do what they do best and technology what it does best," said Pelz. "I want to replace fear of AI with excitement about how it can allow people to concentrate on strategic tasks that require a human touch. Let the machines do the boring stuff, so we can focus on what matters most: the patients."

Pelz's leadership will sharpen Ledger Run's push toward a best-in-class platform, streamlining financial operations for sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs), and creating a far better payment experience for sites. The company is backing this initiative with stepped-up R&D investment and new AI aimed at the industry's biggest friction points, such as automatically cross-referencing and uploading invoices across multiple systems to speed processing, and eliminating the manual, error-prone administrative work that slows everyone down.

"Anne is one of the sharpest product minds in life sciences tech, and we're thrilled to welcome her to Ledger Run at exactly the right moment," said John Chinnici, CEO of Ledger Run. "The financial back-office in this industry runs on manual, error-prone work, and that is precisely where AI shines brightest. With Anne guiding the roadmap, our next-generation platform will automate financial processing, serve our customers better, and fuel serious growth."

In addition to increasing financial management efficiency for sponsors and CROs, Ledger Run is improving the site experience by providing greater clarity and faster remittance. Pelz added, "I have spent years visiting research sites and have enormous empathy for their heavy workload – so much paperwork, so little time. At Ledger Run, I hope to develop a platform that helps sites focus on patients and run a successful trial rather than chasing payments."

Learn more about Anne Pelz's vision and discover more about Ledger Run at SCRS' Global Site Solutions Summit in Orlando (Oct 15-18) at booth #207 or meet her at the annual OCT New England meeting in Boston (Oct 27-28) at booth #71.

About Ledger Run

Watson will lead Red Queen Bio's government affairs strategy and deepen the company's engagement with key stakeholders across the federal government, national laboratories and agencies including the Department of War, Department of Energy and Department of Health and Human Services.

"Ian has spent his career operating at the intersection of frontier biotechnology, national security and public health," said Nikolai Eroshenko, co-founder and CEO of Red Queen Bio. "The biosecurity landscape is evolving faster than many traditional systems were designed to respond. Red Queen Bio is building for that reality, and Ian understands what it takes to deploy and scale new technological capabilities."

Watson has decades of experience spanning biodefense, biotechnology policy, pandemic preparedness and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense.

Most recently, he served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense, overseeing the development of chemical and biological defense capabilities for the Joint Force. He also served as Executive Secretary of the Biodefense Executive Council and led the Department of War's Biosurveillance Program.

Before that, he was Deputy Assistant Secretary and Director of the Office of Strategy, Policy, Planning, and Requirements within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response at the Department of Health and Human Services, where his responsibilities included industrial base expansion, supply-chain management and the Defense Production Act program during the COVID-19 response.

From 2018 to 2020, Watson was Assistant Director for Biotechnology and Biosecurity at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where he led the National Bioeconomy Initiative with the National Security Council, co-chaired National Science and Technology Council biodefense and biological sciences subcommittees, and helped shape federal policy around the bioeconomy and biological security.

Earlier in his career, Watson held a series of leadership roles at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, including overseeing international biological threat reduction programs. He began his career in missile defense and arms control, including work on the Army's PAC-3 and MEADS programs.

"What drew me to Red Queen Bio is the ambition of the mission, and the amazing team they have assembled," said Watson. "The biological threat landscape has consistently been described for more than a decade as rapidly accelerating, and there is an argument to be made that it has done so in advance of our collective ability to adequately detect, understand and respond with the cohesion and timeliness necessary. Red Queen Bio is confronting the problem with the technical depth and urgency of a technology company, while staying focused on the national security realities."

About Red Queen Bio

Red Queen Bio PBC is an AI biosecurity company building next-generation technologies to help governments and communities respond to emerging biological threats. Founded by Nikolai Eroshenko and Hannu Rajaniemi, the company brings together advances in biology and artificial intelligence to create faster, more adaptive approaches to biosecurity and preparedness.

Redesigned experience helps health plan members, workers' compensation professionals and healthcare organizations find the right providers more easily and connect to care with greater confidence.

LANGHORNE, Pa., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta, a leader in provider data management and healthcare navigation solutions, today announced a newly redesigned experience for its Provider Directory solution, ProviderDirectoryAI (PDAI) solution, making it easier for users to find providers, compare options and connect with the right care.

The new experience builds upon existing provider search capabilities with a modern, intuitive design created for the different ways people search for healthcare. Whether a health plan member is searching for a specialist from a mobile phone or a workers' compensation professional is identifying the right provider for an injured worker, the redesigned experience makes important provider information easier to find and use.

"Finding the right provider should be simple, regardless of who is searching or what device they are using," said April Stiles, CEO of Perspecta. "We listened to our clients and users and reimagined ProviderDirectoryAI to create a more intuitive, seamless experience that helps people quickly find the providers and care that are right for them."

The redesigned ProviderDirectoryAI experience includes:

- Faster, More Responsive Search: Users can search, filter and refine provider results more quickly, creating a smoother experience across mobile, tablet and desktop searches.

- Simplified Search and Filters: A cleaner search experience makes it easier to refine results without navigating through length screens or losing sign of provider options.

- Flexible Ways to View Providers: Users can choose between list, map and card views depending on how they prefer to search. Healthcare professionals can quickly review detailed provider information, while members can easily compare options and identify providers close to home or work.

- Improved Location and Distance Search: Interactive maps and distance-based sorting help users understand where providers are located and identify convenient care options.

- Clearer Provider Information: Redesigned provider profiles organize key information, including locations, provider details, ratings and affiliations, in an easy-to-read format, while allowing users to access additional information when needed.

- Popular Specialties at a Glance: Frequently searched specialties are automatically highlighted, helping users begin common searches more quickly.

- Client-Specific Member Information: Health plans and other organizations can prominently display member benefits, programs, educational resources and other important information directly within the provider search experience.

- Experience Designed for Different Healthcare Users: ProviderDirectoryAI supports the different needs of health plan members, case managers, claims professionals, network managers and other healthcare users rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to provider search.

The redesign was shaped by feedback from clients and end users and reflects Perspecta continued investment in making healthcare navigation simpler and more effective.

ProviderDirectoryAI combines Perspecta's provider data with flexible search and navigation capabilities designed to help healthcare organizations connect their members and users with the right providers. The redesigned experience also creates a foundation for future capabilities, including AI-assisted conversational search.

About Perspecta

Perspecta is reimagining provider data management. Through deep domain expertise and a commitment to innovation, we deliver intelligent solutions that improve efficiency, enhance experiences, and power better decision-making. Trusted by health plans, workers' compensation, and provider organizations, our 95%+ data accuracy helps navigate complexity and optimize care.

No Idea If Your AI Is Right? KNOWIDEA Lets Finance Check Every Answer.

New KNOWIDEA research, co-authored with Georgia Tech and developed with researchers at one of the world's largest asset managers, makes AI-written financial calculations checkable before any action.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Two AI-written queries ask the same database the same question and return the same answer. One is incorrect, and nobody can tell. Then a single missing value appears in the data, and the query with incorrect logic quietly drops accounts from a report, with no error message and no warning.

That is the failure KNOWIDEA, the decision intelligence company, prevents. Today it published "VeriPIE: Checkable Query Plans and Evidence-Guided Selection for Text-to-SQL," co-authored with Georgia Tech and developed with one of the world's largest asset managers. The paper shows how to make AI-generated database queries more accurate and every answer comes with evidence a risk team can validate before it informs a decision. The paper is available at https://www.knowidea.dev/papers/veripie-text2sql.pdf.

The wrong number that looks right

Banks, asset managers and corporate finance teams are adopting AI tools that turn plain-English questions into database queries, a task known as text-to-SQL. The danger is not the query that fails. It is the query that runs, returns a reasonable number and is wrong. The paper's example: two common ways to write "no matching payment" return identical results. Add one payment record with a missing account ID, and one version silently excludes every unmatched account while the other still returns them. The report looks complete. It isn't.

That kind of error does not stay in a spreadsheet. A wrong query, the paper notes, "can silently omit exposures, double-count transactions, or miscalculate financial aggregates while returning plausible results."

- In risk, an omitted exposure understates a portfolio's risk.

- In reporting, double-counted transactions misstate a regulatory filing.

- In operations, a reconciliation that drops unmatched accounts hides the breaks it was built to find.

Most AI systems settle on the answer most of their candidate queries agree on. The paper shows why that is inadequate: queries can agree on today's data and disagree tomorrow.

New guest experience provides 24/7 conversational assistance, hotel services and destination guidance in more than 33 languages, without an app or dedicated hardware

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sizzle, Inc. today announced the introduction of Rosa, a Synth Human™ created specifically for Sheraton Universal Hotel, bringing face-to-face conversational video hospitality directly to guests' phones. Available around the clock in more than 33 languages, Rosa provides an interactive visual way for guests to navigate their stay, access hotel services and discover the experiences surrounding the property, without downloading an app or using dedicated hotel hardware.

Guests simply scan a QR code in their arrival welcome letter to meet Rosa and begin a conversation. She provides a single conversational starting point for questions about reservations, parking, valet, room service, dining, amenities, shuttle information and other hotel services, helping guests get the information they need and connect with the appropriate hotel team when human assistance is required.

"Our guests have come here to enjoy themselves, and every moment of their visit matters," said Tom Beedon, General Manager of Sheraton Universal Hotel. "Rosa helps them spend less time figuring out the details and more time enjoying what brought them here. Whether they need something from our team or help planning their day, we want the next step to feel effortless."

Located beside Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk, Sheraton Universal provides a particularly relevant environment for Sizzle's technology. Sizzle's Experience Pass® connects guests with hotel services as well as Universal CityWalk, Universal Studios Hollywood, restaurants, concerts, museums, clubs, Los Angeles sports and other destination experiences.

For hotel operators, Sizzle's approach provides a way to introduce advanced conversational hospitality without installing dedicated devices throughout a property. Rosa operates directly on guests' phones, eliminating the need for hotel tablets or other guest-facing hardware.

"Technology earns its place in a hotel when it improves the stay and makes sound business sense," said Russell Cox, Owner's Representative for Sheraton Universal Hotel. "Rosa gives us a sophisticated, personal way to serve guests on the phones they already carry, without a hardware investment in every room or introducing advertising into the guest experience."

Produced specifically for Sheraton Universal by Sizzle's entertainment studio, Rosa combines conversational AI with the craft of screen production. Her appearance, voice and personality are designed to express the property's welcome through natural, individual video conversations. Sheraton Universal also receives a bespoke system to continually monitor and improve Rosa's responses, allowing the hotel to refine the accuracy, tone and service details of her answers as information and guest needs evolve.

"Synth Humans are operational intelligence. Personified," said Brian Weiner, Founder and CEO of Sizzle, Inc. "We're giving a hotel's expertise the ability to meet each guest face to face, understand what matters to them and help them make more of their stay. Sheraton Universal demonstrates how this technology can extend premium hospitality beyond the property and become part of the entire guest journey."

Sizzle's platform provides hotels with a practical way to introduce conversational guest engagement without a major technology installation.
