Whitney Wolfe Herd is the Founder and CEO of Bumble Inc., a relationship platform built to foster healthy connections across dating, friendship, and community. She launched Bumble in 2014 rooted in the belief that when women feel secure, respected, and in control, better connections follow.

Under Wolfe Herd’s leadership, Bumble has scaled to a globally trusted brand and technology company. She’s guided that growth with a clear philosophy: technology, including AI, should be used to deepen human connection, not replace it. In 2021, she became the youngest woman to take a company public in the United States, and she has championed legislation against online abuse, including bans on unsolicited lewd content.

Prior to founding Bumble, Wolfe Herd co-founded the dating app, Tinder. Her work has earned recognition from TIME’s 100 Most Influential People, Forbes’ 30 Under 30, the Bloomberg 50, and InStyle’s 50 Women Changing the World.
