Is It Profitable for Dating Apps to Assign Women as Their Head?
Posted on November 9, 2022
ED TIMES – Up until last year, the two most influential dating apps, Tinder and Bumble, were both headed by women. While Whitney Wolfe Herd is currently the CEO of Bumble, Tinder was run by Renate Nyborg until August 2, 2022. Both the female CEOs of the online dating world are targets of media sensationalism. Renate Nyborg became an example for the users of Tinder after she found her husband on the app. She is celebrated as the first female CEO of Tinder, and a write-up in Fortune Magazine calls her "the ultimate testament to Tinder's ability to create healthy, long-term relationships." Under her chairmanship, Tinder won several awards, which include the award for Best CEO for Diversity, and it was categorized as one of the most innovative companies by Fast Company in 2022. However, she was let go of her post within a year.
