As part of his PhD, Liran focused on the effects of recent trends and events, such as heavier-than-ever social media use, widespread working from home, and more, on people's financial behavior and outcomes. Today, Liran is the Founder & CEO of Cache, an innovative financial technology company at the forefront of introducing automation to improve personal financial outcomes. Unlike other personal finance apps that focus on advice and recommendations, Cache recognizes that not everyone has the time or motivation to manage their finances on a daily basis, and therefore introduces automation as a tool to help people make better, and in most cases optimal, financial decisions.
