Q: Tell us about your career trajectory?
A: Over the past two decades, I've learned that the fundamental thing we collect in life isn't money or titles, but experiences. What attracts me to new roles is the opportunity to experience something new. I have sought and been fortunate to have always worked on products that improve people's lives.
Q: What got you interested in the industry?
A: Human relationships. They are one of the most fascinating topics to study.
Q: What projects can we expect to see next?
A: OkCupid has always been a platform that allows people to be their true selves. In places like India, we are continuing to match people on what matters most to them and specific to their culture. I'm proud to be able to give people that opportunity because it's something everyone deserves.
Q: I have been predicting a greater use of AI in dating apps for years. What in your opinion is the future of dating?
A: The future of dating is going to look a lot like the origin of OkCupid. We match people on shared beliefs and values through thousands of personalized questions. AI has helped us with showing daters the people they would actually want to meet beyond simple attraction.
