The people behind Loqal
Loqal was built by a global team that believes language is the most powerful bridge between people. We're here to make the world a little smaller.
“Language is more than words. It's how we understand each other. We're building the technology to make that happen — for everyone, everywhere.”
Founder & CEO
Aviah Morag
Aviah Morag has been learning languages since before he can remember — growing up multilingual and deeply passionate about how language shapes the way we think, connect, and understand each other. A linguist and software engineer, he is a proud graduate of Tel Aviv University and spent 14 years at Apple, working at the intersection of technology, language, and accessibility — shaping products used by hundreds of millions of people.
Having lived and worked across continents — from Silicon Valley to Tel Aviv, from Europe to East Asia — Aviah has experienced firsthand how language opens doors. His expertise spans voice technology, NLP, and large language models, and he has spoken extensively at developer conferences around the world about bringing the best of AI to human interaction.
Aviah founded Loqal to channel a lifetime of passion for languages into a product that helps people find their voice. His dream: to bring people together and make the world a little smaller.

Loqal is made by Sorato Inc., based in San Francisco. Sorato is dedicated to building technology that brings people closer together through language, culture, and AI.
