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.”
