Match Group Axes COO Role, 18-Year Veteran Hosseini Out
Tinder parent Match Group eliminates its Chief Operating Officer position as new CEO Spencer Rascoff reshapes leadership.
Match Group is ditching its COO role entirely. The move pushes out Hesam Hosseini, who spent 18 years at the dating app giant.
The restructuring falls under new CEO Spencer Rascoff, who's clearly wasting no time putting his stamp on the organization. Eliminating an entire C-suite position — rather than just swapping who fills it — signals a significant shift in how Match wants to operate going forward.
Hosseini's nearly two-decade run at the company makes this a notable departure. Match Group, which owns Tinder and a portfolio of dating platforms, announced the change Thursday.
The COO elimination is part of broader organizational changes Rascoff is driving. For a company that dominates the online dating space, the leadership shakeup suggests Match is looking to streamline its executive structure as it charts its next chapter.
