AI teammates work within a single constituent record. People approve every send.

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — StratusLIVE today introduced Ignite, the Active Intelligence Platform for cause-oriented nonprofits whose missions are growing faster than their teams. Ignite provides CRM, fundraising, finance, marketing, and engagement on a single constituent record and includes AI teammates that research, draft, and flag items that need attention. Staff review and approve; nothing sends until they do.

Most mid-size nonprofits run three to five disconnected systems. The donor records live in one, the gift posts in another, the email tool keeps its own list, and finance closes the month from a spreadsheet. The time spent carrying information between those systems is unpaid staff capacity. StratusLIVE calls it the System Tax, and it built Ignite to remove it.

“Every nonprofit leader we talk to describes the same week: more mission, same team, and hours lost moving data between tools,” said Jim Funari, CEO and founder of StratusLIVE. “Ignite puts the whole relationship on one record and gives the team digital teammates that do the research and the drafting. People stay in charge of every decision. That is the only version of AI a nonprofit can put in front of its board.”

One platform, one record

Ignite CRM, Ignite Fundraising, Ignite Finance, Ignite Marketing, Ignite Engagement, Ignite Partnerships, Ignite Self-Service, and Ignite Design Studio share a single constituent record, so a gift, an event registration, an email reply, and a finance posting all describe the same person. Ignite Finance carries gifts to the ledger with balanced export files for common accounting systems.

AI teammates, with people in charge

Ignite Intelligence brings AI teammates into the same platform. The roster includes Prospect Research, Major Gift, Retention, and Constituent Support teammates. They work from the organization’s own data and inside its workflow, not in a separate tab. Prospect scoring uses evidence-gated bands, and every recommendation carries its sources.

Governance is built in rather than added on: read-only by default, approval gates configured by the organization, and a full audit trail. StratusLIVE maintains a current SOC 2 Type II report, available on request.

“When AI shows up in a discovery call, the first question is never ‘what can it do.’ It is ‘who is accountable for what it does,'” said Debbie Snyder, Chief Revenue Officer at StratusLIVE. “Ignite answers that question the way a board would want it answered.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lambda, Inc. (“Lambda”), the Superintelligence Cloud, today announced it has signed the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge, affirming its commitment to ensuring that the infrastructure supporting America’s artificial intelligence (AI) future delivers meaningful benefits for local communities, while protecting consumers and ratepayers.

The pledge reflects principles that guide Lambda’s approach to infrastructure development. The company incorporates community considerations into project planning from the earliest stages, working directly with local partners to strengthen coordination and support responsible development.

“When developed responsibly, data centers can do more than power the technologies of the future, they can create lasting economic opportunities and investments in the communities where they operate,” said Michel Combes, Chief Executive Officer of Lambda. “But we know that trust is built over time, and companies must demonstrate a facility’s value to a community over time. The Ratepayer Protection Pledge reflects our commitment to ensuring communities benefit from growth while protecting consumers.”

Lambda supports ratepayer protection policies that require data center developers to pay for the power their facilities use. The company also supports expanding generation capacity, strengthening the electric grid, maintaining reliable service and protecting ratepayers as demand for AI infrastructure grows. Lambda also invests in technologies designed to reduce local resource demands.

Seasoned public company and gaming executive brings a proven record of operating discipline, strategic transactions and value creation

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IGT today announced the appointment of Adam Chibib as Chief Financial Officer, effective November 1, 2026, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Chibib will succeed Fabio Celadon, who will remain CFO through October 31 and then serve as an advisor through December 31, 2026, to support a smooth transition.

Chibib brings more than three decades of financial and operational leadership across public companies, private equity backed businesses and high growth technology organizations, contributing to six successful exits. Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Raptor Technologies, which was acquired by Warburg Pincus in January 2026 following a significant transformation under the ownership of Thoma Bravo and JMI Equity.

His gaming experience includes serving as President and Chief Financial Officer of Multimedia Games, where he helped double revenue, triple profitability and increase the company’s market capitalization from approximately $47 million to more than $1 billion before its $1.2 billion acquisition. He later served as Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Audit Committee of playAGS through its acquisition in 2025. His earlier experience includes financial leadership roles at Self Financial, NetSpend and several technology companies.

“Adam brings the public company, private equity and gaming experience we need for this stage of IGT’s transformation,” said Hector Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer of IGT. “His financial discipline and operating mindset will be important as we sharpen execution and strengthen cash flow creation. I also want to thank Fabio for more than two decades of leadership and commitment to IGT. He has helped guide the company through significant change and has been a trusted partner across the business.”

“IGT has a strong portfolio, leading market positions and a clear opportunity to create value,” said Adam Chibib, incoming Chief Financial Officer of IGT. “I look forward to working with Hector, the leadership team and the Finance organization to strengthen financial and operating discipline, align capital with our highest priorities and build a durable foundation for growth.”

IGT is executing a transformation focused on operating discipline, portfolio performance and cash flow creation across its Gaming, Digital and FinTech businesses. As Chief Financial Officer, Chibib will lead the company’s global Finance organization and help align financial strategy, capital priorities and business execution to support IGT’s long-term objectives.

Celadon’s career with IGT and its predecessor companies spans more than two decades. Since becoming Chief Financial Officer of Lottomatica S.p.A. in 2002, he has served in senior leadership roles across finance, strategy, corporate development and international operations in Europe, North America and Asia. Throughout his tenure, he has helped guide the company through periods of significant change.
