Ryan Frankel

Entrepreneur, Fitness Enthusiast, and Lover of Travel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm currently the Founder of This App Saves Lives, a mobile platform that rewards drivers who choose not to drive distracted. I've also been independent business consultant working with Fortune 100 companies and startups alike.

Previously, I founded EduPlated, a personalized online nutritional coaching platform that connects people aspiring to make better nutritional decisions with a vetted community of Registered Dietitians.

Previously, I was Co-Founder and CEO of VerbalizeIt (acquired in 2016), the language translation platform that was featured on the ABC TV series, Shark Tank.

I am a proud MBA graduate of The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and an undergraduate alumnus of Haverford College where I studied Economics and Spanish and pitched for the baseball team.

Prior to Wharton, I worked as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs in the Special Situations Group in New York City where I focused on middle market private equity transactions and the operational management of our portfolio companies.

Outside of my work, I'm a fitness enthusiast who has enjoyed competing in an Ironman triathlon and multiple marathons.

I live in Philadelphia with my wife, our Golden Retriever puppy, and my pair of running shoes.
