Match Group Inc., has named Faye Iosotaluno chief executive officer of Tinder, its most popular dating app, ending a nearly two-year vacancy during which Match Group’s CEO held both titles.

Iosotaluno, who has been Tinder’s chief operating officer since August 2022, previously held management roles across the parent company including chief strategy officer. Her elevation dovetails with a key turnaround plan from Match Group CEO Bernard Kim, which has so far failed to recover the growth analysts predicted.
