Tinder Names Jim Lanzone As New CEO

Match Group, the parent company of Los Angeles-based online dating app developer Tinder, said on Monday that it has named Jim Lanzone--former President and CEO of CBS Interactive, and also Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Benchmark Capital--as CEO of Tinder. Lanzone replaces current Tinder CEO Elie Seidman, who the company said will return to working with early stage, venture-backed startups. Lanzone previously had a short stint in Southern California's high tech industry, having been CEO of Los Angeles-based online video guide service Clicker back in 2009. He also has been on the board of Los Angeles-based Edmunds.com since 2014.
