Seidman, Elie — Tinder
CEO
Tinder
THE LATEST: In January, dating app Tinder unveiled safety features including a photo verification service that compares real-time images shared over the platform with profile photos, ensuring that matched people are who they say they are. A partnership with personal safety app Noonlight will instantly connect users to emergency services, right from the app. Seidman directed Tinder's Covid-19 response, including free access to the app's Passport feature, which lets users connect with anyone around the world. Tinder was named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list in March for its interactive adventure Swipe Night.
BACKGROUND: Seidman joined Tinder in 2017 from OkCupid, where he revitalized the dating site as chief executive. Before that, Seidman was co-founder and chief executive of Oyster.com, a hotel bookings, search and review app purchased by TripAdvisor in 2013. Earlier, Seidman was co-founder and president of Epana, a phone card provider and money remittance service. He grew up in New York and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
