TECH CRUNCH - Ten days after Apollo Global completed its acquisition of Yahoo (formerly Verizon Media) from Verizon for $5B, it has appointed Jim Lanzone, the current CEO of Tinder (for 14 months) as the new CEO of Yahoo. Renate Nyborg, Tinder's head of EMEA, is taking the CEO role at Tinder. Nyborg is young but has a long track record in tech, at Headspace, Apple (subscriptions & developer relations), and building her own startups. Her connection to Tinder is personal. "I swiped right on my husband and it changed my life.... We are building the most fun, inclusive, safest place for singles to connect... We're...raising the bar for the industry."
