Dan Egan is at the forefront of one of the most important sciences of our time: Behavioral Economics and Finance. Betterment is a leading investment advisor in terms of innovative design – so it's a beautiful marriage (of minds if you will). At Betterment Dan is responsible for ensuring our clients invest (and behave) intelligently.
Dan has
a long track record of using behavioral finance to help people make better financial and investment decisions. Prior to joining Betterment he was the Behavioral Finance Specialist at Barclays Americas, and a founding member of the team in 2007 in London. Before that he was an economist for a London-based private equity firm, and an econometrician at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dan earned his Master of Science in Decision Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science and his B.A. in Economics from Boston University. He is a published author of multiple publications related to behavioral economics, and has lectured at New York University, London Business School, University College of London, and the London School of Economics.
When not using his behavioral brilliance to guide Betterment customers to smarter decisions, Dan can be found hiking the globe; in fact, he's ascended the 3 tallest mountains in the UK in under 24 hours, and seen the sun rise over the Himalayas!If anyone knows what it takes to achieve your goals, it's this guy.
