AI enterprise software startup, Sorcero, expands its leadership team and product expertise


Sorcero team

Two experienced executives have joined Sorcero, a startup providing information and workflow management software to regulated enterprises. Aimee Gallagher and Sean Smith bring over forty years of experience to Sorcero’s product and market development teams. Gallagher has been hired as Sorcero’s Chief Product Officer, while Smith was promoted from Sorcero’s VP of Marketing to its Chief Marketing Officer. The additions make clear Sorcero’s commitment to growing a company with solutions that can scale to work with any enterprise.

Gallagher and Smith join a leadership team at Sorcero that includes Walter Bender and Dipanwita Das, founder and CEO of Sorcero. With a background in global development and technology consulting, Das is committed to building a no-code platform that can improve the way information and workflows are handled, distributed, and shared. Using domain-specific Natural Language Processing (NLP) as a foundation, Das and her team ensure that subject matter experts, not just technologists, can set up and deploy solutions to address critical business problems.

Walter Bender, Sorcero’s CTO, is the former director of the MIT Media Lab and Co-Founder of One Laptop Per Child. He is widely regarded as both one of the world’s leading technologists and an innovator in the educational community. By developing Sugar, a free software OS alternative to the Microsoft Windows & Office suite, Bender brought new opportunities to the world’s poorest children. He then went on to spread this ingenious platform through Sugar Labs. He discussed these accomplishments in a Ted Talk, which can be found here.

“The latest two appointments nicely round out our leadership team,” said Das. “One of the biggest concerns with AI solutions is their tendency to not have a quantifiable ROI and failing to scale beyond the pilot. Aimee and Sean will help us ensure that we don’t face that issue with our customers.”

Das called Gallagher a “perfect fit” as Sorcero’s CPO, noting that Gallagher managed and participated in a number of development teams, both local and virtual, in her more than twenty years in the field. Her experience includes working with prominent organizations such as Priceline, through their IPO, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she negotiated multi-million dollar contracts and developed new products and businesses.

As Sorcero’s new CMO, Smith brings more than twenty years of experience working with enterprises. “Sean has been with Sorcero almost from the beginning,” Das said. “He’s a seasoned marketing and Business Development professional, a brilliant product strategist, and, over the past year and a half, has demonstrated a remarkable ability to roll up his sleeves and get the job done.”

Over the past twenty years, Smith has served in a number of different marketing and BD leadership roles in the fields of enterprise software and information services. His former employers include InfoDesk, Quosa, Elsevier Business Intelligence, and the Thompson Publishing Group. While working full-time, he earned an MS in marketing from the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business and an MS in journalism from Georgetown University.

Sorcero’s solutions let experts better manage the information they know best within enterprises, and the start-up is following that same principle with these hires: investing in a future guided by expertise.

About Sorcero

Sorcero’s Enterprise NLP suite provides prebuilt, configurable Natural Language Processing solutions to deliver scalable, automated advanced knowledge bases, decision support, and compliance for Life Sciences and Insurance. Built by senior MIT research scientists and informed by decades of experience in digital transformation, Sorcero’s platform provides cutting-edge capabilities to enhance the value chain across regulated and technical industries.

Noodoe EV Electrifies L.A.’s Iconic Millennium Biltmore Hotel


From L-R at today’s dedication ceremony: Jimmy Wu, GM and Owner’s Representative, Millennium Biltmore Hotel, Jennifer Chang, CEO, Noodoe EV and Janet Burt, L.A. Housing + Community Commissioner

We’re extremely proud to bring our five-star Noodoe EV charging stations to this historic landmark hotel

Noodoe, a global leader in EV charging technology, has just completed installation of ten S1000 EV charging stations at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, one of L.A.’s most historic and iconic landmarks. As electric cars become commonplace, guests are starting to choose where they stay based on the presence of EV charging. Hotels no longer see EV charging as a perk but as a necessity, and are responding to fill this accelerating customer demand with solutions as advanced as their vehicles. Effective through December 31, 2019, the Biltmore is offering a “2 Electrifying Hours Free” holiday special.

“We’re extremely proud to bring our five-star Noodoe EV charging stations to this historic landmark hotel,” Jennifer Chang. “Our Noodoe EV OS system is as smart and sophisticated as the Millennium Biltmore. The hotel has a year of historic firsts, from hosting the Academy Awards, to JFK’s 1960 nomination speech, to welcoming the Beatles in ’64 and housing the Olympic Committee in 1984. Our installation of Noodoe EV chargers in 2019 will bring the latest of sleep n’ charge solutions to the Millennium Biltmore guests and their electric vehicles.”

As an enduring industry leader in the hospitality industry, the Millennium Biltmore recognizes the latest trends in hospitality and technology and is taking action to continue to fulfill their current and future guests’ needs. All forecasts indicate that electric cars are rapidly growing from niche to common. A Bloomberg New Energy Finance report, predicts that sales of electric vehicles will increase from a record 1.1 million worldwide in 2017 to 11 million in 2025 and then to 30 million in 2030 as the price of manufacturing the vehicles continues to decline.

“The Millennium Biltmore continues to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional offerings to our modern and tech savvy travelers,” said Jimmy Wu, General Manager and Owner’s Representative of Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles. “By bringing EV charging stations to our hotel, we are providing a necessary amenity to many of our guests and expect it to become a sought after trend over time.”

Why Noodoe

At the heart of the commercial Noodoe EV Charging Station is a cloud-based OS that serves as its brain. The OS seamlessly taps into a business’s existing electricity supply bandwidth. It manages the charging experience for customers, allowing them to use any form of payment at the pump, including credit cards, Apple or Google Pay. The OS also provides management functions that empower owners to configure pricing, modify peak hours, monitor charging while supervising the entire charging infrastructure. “Noodoe is the only commercial EV charger that offers a complete cloud-based solution,” states Chang. “The OS is designed as a future-proof system, able to integrate additional features as new industry priorities or requirements arise.” Current industry-leading features of Noodoe’s EV OS include Universal Charging Service, Comprehensive Payment Processing, Central Management, Service Personnel Access, Automated Diagnostics and Operational Analytics.

Heart to Heart Hospice Recognizes National Hospice and Palliative Care Month


News Image

“We are privileged to make a difference in the lives of our patients and families through compassionate care that provides comfort, support and dignity.”

Throughout November, Heart to Heart Hospice is joining organizations across the nation in recognizing National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and encouraging people to increase their understanding and awareness of end-of-life care.

For more than 40 years, hospice has provided comfort and dignity to millions of people, allowing them to spend their final months at home – where 80 percent of Americans prefer to be – surrounded by their loved ones.

Nearly 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries receive care from hospices in this country every year, according to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). And it’s important to note that the cost of hospice care is covered through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, the Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and by most private insurers.

Hospice ensures that pain management, therapies, and treatments all support a plan of care that is centered on the person’s goals. This specialized care also provides emotional and practical support to help family members become confident caregivers and adjust to the future, with grief support for up to 13 months.

“It is essential that people understand that hospice and palliative care is not giving up, it is not the abandonment of care, and it is not reserved for the imminently dying,” said Edo Banach, president and CEO of the NHPCO. “Hospice is a successful model of person-centered care that brings hope, dignity and compassion.”

Hospice is unique in that it offers a team-oriented approach to treating individuals living with life-limiting illnesses. Caring for the whole person allows the team to address each patient’s unique needs and challenges.

“Hospice provides the best level of care possible when people need it most,” said Heather Lumsdon, BSN, RN and Chief Clinical Officer of Heart to Heart Hospice. “Our professional care team comes alongside patients and their families during very difficult times,” she said. “We are privileged to make a difference in the lives of our patients and families through compassionate care that provides comfort, support and dignity.”

About Heart to Heart Hospice

Heart to Heart Hospice, founded in 2003, is one of the largest private providers of hospice care in the United States. Headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Heart to Heart provides a broad range of hospice services to patients with life-limiting illnesses across 35 locations in Texas, Michigan and Indiana. At Heart to Heart, we understand both the physical and emotional challenges for our patients and their loved ones and our care team is committed to providing them with what they need most: comfort, support and dignity. Learn more about Heart to Heart Hospice.

About the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization

National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is the nation’s first and largest membership organization for providers and professionals who care for people affected by serious and life-limiting illness. The organization is committed to improving and advancing the proven integrated, person-centered healthcare model that its members put into practice daily – one that provides patients and their loved ones with comfort, peace, and dignity during life’s most intimate and vulnerable experiences, while also addressing holistic health and the well-being of communities. http://www.nhpco.org

BUTTON Wallet Participates in LongHash Hatch and ZILHive Incubator to Develop Projects Building on the Zilliqa Blockchain on its Ecosystem


News Image

BUTTON Wallet is focused on white label solutions for Ziliqa based on a decentralized ecosystem of blockchain companies for B2B2C and to bringing users simplified ways of creating peer-to-peer transactions and difi solutions, and continues to seek new ways to deliver services via the digital wallet

BUTTON Wallet, a leading messenger-based cryptocurrency solution for trading and buying digital assets, announces today its involvement in the LongHash Hatch and ZILHive Incubator, a joint 12-week incubation program that provides a full range of support for early-stage blockchain projects. BUTTON Wallet is using the Incubator as an opportunity to further develop simpler, more secured platforms through which users can exchange ZIL token cryptocurrency and make peer-to-peer payments. BUTTON Wallet has chosen to participate based on its growing presence in Asia supported by offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Berlin, Zug, and Singapore.

“BUTTON Wallet is focused on white label solutions for Ziliqa (including t.me/zilliqawalletbot) based on a decentralized ecosystem of blockchain companies for B2B2C and to bringing users simplified ways of creating peer-to-peer transactions and difi solutions, and continues to seek new ways to deliver services via the digital wallet,” said Nick Kozlov, CTO at BUTTON Wallet. “Participating in the Incubator offers BUTTON Wallet the chance to increase the Zilliqa’s community within the BUTTON Wallet audience and propel mass adoption by leveraging the already-popular messenger infrastructure as a decentralized platform for simple payments.”

The program includes mentoring, investor outreach, technical delivery, PR/marketing/community management, and modularized knowledge sharing to facilitate the development of a viable beta-version product that will be released shortly after the program ends. BUTTON Wallet, along with the four other participants, will present their latest iteration of their cryptocurrency and fiat transaction platform on December 11, 2019 and will pitch to investors on November 25-26, 2019.

“BUTTON Wallet is using the Incubator as an opportunity to continue the move from a crypto wallet to messenger-based banking,” notes Alexandr Safonov, BUTTON Wallet CEO. “In the next six-to-12 months, we will add more de-fi / exchange capabilities as we become a leader in the burgeoning messenger based banking industry that will likely surpass the mobile banking industry.”

Each project will be guaranteed non-dilutive grant funding of $20,000 USD upon completion of the incubation program. ZILHive is part of the Zilliqa Grant Ecosystem Program, a $5 million investment pool to support dApp development. ZILHive is a joint effort with LongHash, a global blockchain incubator supported by the government of Singapore.

USPS Operation Santa putting needy kids’ sad letters to Santa online for “adoption” by volunteers at Christmas


USPS Operation Santa Christmas volunteers mail gifts delivered directly to children.

This little girl wrote to Santa and her gifts were delivered directly to her!

“Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program. People catch the true spirit of the holidays and put smiles on the faces of needy kids on Christmas morning,” says Be A Elf’s Chief Elf, Patrick Reynolds.

The U.S. Postal Service launched a new website this week that makes letters to Santa from needy kids available to members of the public to adopt.

Many of their letters ask Santa only for “a warm coat”, “new shoes,” and a favorite toy, according to a nonprofit that supports the effort.

In recent years the program has been available in under two dozen cities, but this year, the letters may be adopted in every U.S. city, thanks to a new USPS website, USPSoperationsanta.com.

Volunteers may also read letters in person at one branch in Chicago, and another in New York City. To protect children’s privacy, USPS staff redact last names and addresses from every letter. Gifts must be mailed by Dec. 20th, in time for delivery by Christmas.

The U.S. Postal Service has made the children’s letters available every December since 1912. It has been supported by Be An Elf, a tax-exempt charity founded by a volunteer, Elf Patrick. The site supports USPS Operation Santa by recruiting hundreds of new volunteers every year, encouraging media to cover the story, and by supporting those seeking assistance by offering them letter-writing tips. Be An Elf is not affiliated with the USPS, but its website serves as a guide both to volunteering for the program and for those seeking assistance. The group gets a major in-kind grant from Google in the form of free advertising.

Parents who are worried there won’t be enough gifts for their children this year will find great tips at BeAnElf.org/writing-to-Santa. Volunteers who want to learn more should start with the home page at BeAnElf.org

“Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program. People catch the true spirit of the holidays and put smiles on the faces of needy kids on Christmas morning,” says Be A Elf’s Patrick Reynolds, who has the title of Chief Elf. He’s a grandson of tobacco company founder R.J. Reynolds but became a smoke-free advocate after his father, R.J. Reynolds Jr., died from smoking. Patrick Reynolds received the Lifetime Achievement award in 2015 from President Obama for his work against Big Tobacco.
