Nyborg was appointed last September to succeed Jim Lanzone, who had been in office for just over a year at the time. She was the first woman to top the dating giant and had worked there for a year at the time.
According to Match Group, a “permanent CEO” will be sought in the near future. Until then, Match Group CEO Bernard Kim will keep an eye on the company.
on LinkedIn Nyborg writes that she has “loved every moment” and has watched Tinder grow into “an iconic brand” and a multi-billion dollar company. She is now on vacation.
Things are not going particularly well for Match Group. Like many companies, the group, which also has apps such as OkCupid and Hinge in its portfolio, is suffering from the current economic climate. In the same letter, Kim says that he estimates that 790 to 800 million dollars (about 774 to 784 million euros) in turnover will be achieved in the period July to September. That is considerably less than previously expected.
According to Kim, this is because people are less daring to date since the start of the corona pandemic. “Although the lockdowns are over, their dating readiness is not as high as it was before 2020.”
