“I swiped right on my husband and it changed my life,” said Renate Nyborg. “Being CEO of this company is a truly humbling and extraordinary opportunity; to make that happen for the next generation of singles around the world.

Nyborg will become CEO of Tinder amid a period of accelerating growth and innovation at the company.

Tinder recorded double-digits growth and a record 9.6 million payers in its most recent quarterly earnings report.
