Global Trading Analytics, LLC and Babelfish Analytics Announce Merger
29.6.2020 15:03:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Global Trading Analytics (GTA), a leader in the Trading Cost Analysis (TCA) field, and Babelfish Analytics, the creator of the Venue and Routing Analysis field have announced plans to join forces. GTA supplies multi-asset class, parent-level TCA to Pension Plans, Investment Managers, Banks and Brokerages in multiple countries. Babelfish provides routing analysis, which reviews every action a broker takes in executing an order, even unfilled routes. The two firms together will provide the first solution that attributes cost to every step of the investment process.
“We are very pleased to announce this merger with Babelfish Analytics. From the first day we met Linda and Jeff from Babelfish, the synergies were apparent,” said John A. Halligan, President of GTA. “The more we explored combining the two firms, the more we realized how complementary the firms were, and with very little overlap.”
“This merger will allow us to link portfolio-level analytics with routing mechanics, which will help fully attribute the source of cost,” said Linda Giordano, CEO of Babelfish Analytics. “We are excited to partner with GTA to increase our scale, as routing analytics becomes standardized across Europe and the need for enhanced 606 compliance reporting in the U.S. is realized.”
“Joining together is a logical move as it finally provides the marketplace with a complete solution,” said Jeff Alexander, President of Babelfish Analytics. “There is no other TCA firm that offers such a comprehensive suite of products, especially in an unconflicted manner.”

Pleo Announces New Agentic Capabilities, Changing the Face of Financial Management and Decision-Making11.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Pleo, Europe's first and most trusted strategic finance platform, today announces a suite of AI agents that handle routine spend management autonomously, so finance leaders can focus on decisions rather than administrative tasks. Finance teams are under growing pressure: 45% of European companies say their current processes slow them down, and leaders describe approval workflows as so cumbersome they struggle to operate at the required speed. Meanwhile, 73% believe the future of finance teams and professionals depends on the comprehensive understanding and use of AI, yet 63% say AI skills, training and confidence are severely lagging. Pleo's agentic AI addresses this gap. Starting with beta testing in July, Pleo is moving toward a model where specialised agents execute routine work autonomously, surfacing only the exceptions that genuinely need human judgment. Jeppe Rindom, CEO and Founder of Pleo comments: “Agentic AI gives finance leaders a clear path out of the admin and back to the
