Tinder CEO Renate Nyborg to Leave Dating App After One Year
Tinder chief executive Renate Nyborg is leaving the firm less than a year after becoming the boss of the dating app.
Her exit was one of a number of management changes at Tinder announced by parent company Match Group.
Tinder’s plans to adopt new technology, including virtual currencies and metaverse-based dating, are also being reviewed in the strategic shake-up.
The announcements came as Match reported second-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations.
“Today we’re announcing the departure of Tinder CEO Renate Nyborg, and I have made some changes to the management team and structure that I am confident will help deliver Tinder’s full potential,” Match Group chief executive Bernard Kim said in a letter to shareholders.
Mr Kim will take up the role vacated by Ms Nyborg while the company looks for a permanent chief executive for Tinder.
“I have loved every moment of the last two years, working with an I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E team on the magic of human connection,” Ms Nyborg said in a LinkedIn post.
