Ranan Lachman
Ranan Lachman is the founder of Pley.com, a toy rental subscription service that saves families up to 70% on toys, reduces clutter and benefits the environment by recycling toys and preventing them from ending up in landfills. Pley teaches children one of the most valuable life lessons to be learned from a young age - to share. Pley’s innovative sharing economy model has won several industry awards. Giving back to the community has always been extremely important to Pley. It has partnered with Second Change Toys, a non-profit, and donates a toy to an underprivileged kid for every new member that joins the service. Ranan is also the founder of the Sharing Economy Forum, a non-profit organization that brings together 50+ leading Sharing Economy companies (including Airbnb, TaskRabbit etc.) their CEOs, thought leaders and academia to establish standards for Sharing Economy companies. The Sharing Economy Forum’s goal is to elevate consumer awareness to the merits of the sharing economy. It aims to ensure best practices, champion the sector and act as a single voice for the industry. The forum members act with the understanding that we all depend upon and are responsible for each other and that we should promote a social mission that better our society. Prior to founding the Sharing Economy Forum and Pley, Ranan founded GreenCrest Capital, a financial advisory firm that was acquired by Oppenheimer (NYSE: OPY). Ranan was a technology investment banker who conducted cross-border mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings, an associate at a venture capital firm, and served as a F-4 fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force. Ranan obtained his MBA from Warwick University and the Fuqua Business School at Duke University and a BA in Computer Science.
