Match Group, the parent company of dating app Tinder, has announced the appointment of technology and media veteran Jim Lanzone as the dating app’s new chief executive, a position he’ll formally take over on the 3rd of August, 2020. Under the position, Lanzone will report to Match Group’s CEO, Shar Dubey. He’s taking the helm at Tinder on the heels of what Match Group terms as a solid quarter as regards to financial performance.

“I’m very excited to welcome Jim to Match Group,” Match Group CEO Shar Dubey said in a press statement. “Tinder still has so much runway ahead, and as we look to integrate video, roll out new features in various regions and accelerate our growth around the world, Jim will be a formidable leader for the company.”

Jim Lazone is joining Tinder from Benchmark Capital, where he most recently served as an Executive-in-Residence. Before joining Benchmark Capital, he was the Chief Executive Officer of CBS Interactive. He joined CBS after the company acquired Clicker Media, a company he founded. Earlier in his career, Lanzone also co-founded eTour.com, a company that sold to search company Ask.com (formerly Ask Jeeves), where he previously served as chief executive.
