As CTO, Pickering will oversee Scripta's technology, engineering and infrastructure teams, which have recently launched the GLP-1 Navigator in the member app and integrated low-cost cash pay options through its partnership with RxSaveCard.

His remarkable track record in transforming how people book their travel and shop for luxury goods speaks volumes about building complex decision engines, best-in-class user experience, and technical leadership," said Eric Levin, CEO of Scripta Insights. "At Scripta, we're all about empowering Americans to become informed healthcare consumers, especially when it comes to prescription drugs. Ken is bringing that same disruptive mindset, expertise and passion to a life-changing mission: helping people uncover prescription savings by comparison-shopping for medications, the same way they find great deals on flights, hotels, and everyday goods."

Pickering brings over two decades of experience in engineering and technology leadership, including a diversified background across several industries spanning travel, retail and data infrastructure. He's strongly skilled in SaaS applications, data science and analytics, and cloud computing.

Before joining Scripta, Pickering recently served as VP of Engineering at Going, a subscription service that helps members find discounted flight deals. There, he led the engineering organization and scaled its technology to serve a rapidly growing user base.
