Bumble Inc. founder Whitney Wolfe Herd will return to the dating-app firm as chief executive officer, a year after she handed over the reins to a Slack Technologies Inc. executive.
She will replace the current CEO, Lidiane Jones, who is departing for “personal reasons,” the company said in a statement Friday. Wolfe Herd will assume the role in mid-March.
