Whitney Wolfe Herd

Whitney Wolfe Herd is the Founder and CEO of Bumble Inc., a women-first relationship platform built to foster healthy connections across dating, friendship, and community. After co-founding Tinder, she launched Bumble in 2014 to challenge outdated dating norms and empower women to make the first move. Under her leadership, Bumble has grown into a trusted brand rooted in respect, authenticity, and empowerment – using technology and AI to deepen human connection, not replace it. In 2021, she became the youngest woman to take a company public in the United States, and she has championed legislation against online abuse, including bans on unsolicited lewd images. Her work has earned recognition from TIME’s 100 Most Influential People, Forbes’ 30 Under 30, the Bloomberg 50, and InStyle’s 50 Women Changing the World.
