WOMEN'S AGENDA – Feb 1 – At just 31-years old, Whitney Wolfe Herd has become the youngest ever female CEO to take a company public. Wolfe Herd has has an extraordinary career so far. She was one of the co-founders of Tinder, becoming its VP of Marketing a few years later. In 2014, she founded the female-focused dating and social app Bumble, which is now the second most downloaded dating app in the U.S. The app allows women to make the first move. As a woman, Wolfe Herd remains a minority in her sector. From a total of 442 companies that went public last year, only 4 had female founders or CEOs.
