Confessions Of Matchmaker Thomas Enraght-Moony

TIMES ONLINE -- Mar 9 -- Thomas Enraght-Moony (36) is the CEO of Match.com, which operates in 37 countries and is already the world's biggest internet dating agency. In Britain it is about to get bigger still with a deal to run dating sites for The Sun and News of the World. "One of the interesting things about the UK is that newspaper dating sites are much more powerful than elsewhere," says Enraght-Moony. Thomas started at online broker Etrade, moved to a software start-up, then AT&T Wireless in Seattle, following his former Etrade boss Jim Safka. When Safka became CEO of Match in 2004, Enraght-Moony went, too. Enraght-Moony's job is to push the firm, already growing revenues at 17% a year, to fulfil that potential.

It's interesting to see they've snapped the deal away from ITV/Friends Reunited.

We've seen the Friends Reunited Dating network drop down over the last year (pretty much since the acquisition by ITV) - looks like it's losing the battle.

Match has done well with co-brands but I think that with more and more brands turning to white label, the co-brand market is drying up (we're seeing this with DatingDirect's co-brands turning to white label as well).

He is not a matchmaker, he is a manager!

matchmaker == a person who arranges or tries to arrange marriages by introducing possible mates.
manager == a person who has control or direction of an institution, business, etc., or of a part, division, or phase of it.
