The 2 Biggest Dating App Companies Have New Leaders — And One Of Them Is A Familiar Face
The owners of some of the world’s biggest dating apps – Match Group and Bumble – just went through big leadership shake-ups.
On Monday, Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd returned to her position as CEO after a year away from the role. During that time, she was Bumble’s executive chair. Wolfe Herd founded the company in 2014 and said she stepped away to pursue her “founder roots” instead of running a public company’s day-to-day operations.
Last month, rival Match Group, the parent company behind Tinder, Hinge, and OKCupid, also replaced its CEO. Spencer Rascoff, who led the real estate platform Zillow, took over from Bernard Kim, who served as CEO for two years. Rascoff is the fourth CEO in six years.
