Social dating company Spark Networks has announced the appointment of Chelsea A. Grayson as Interim CEO. She will be the company’s first ever female CEO.
Looking ahead, Grayson said “The exceptional array of our brands, along with our diverse global user base, combine to position the company to seize an ever-greater share of the social dating platform industry and facilitate truly important relationships for our consumers.”
Grayson served as the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors before taking on this new position.
