Tinder is now flatter, faster, and leaner, three senior executives told Business Insider
-
Cleo Long, Tinder’s senior director for global product marketing said Tinder now ships code weekly compared to a twice-monthly schedule in the past.
-
Hillary Paine, Tinder’s VP of product and who previously worked with CEO Spencer Rascoff at Zillow said Tinder’s new “smaller, more structured pods” are similar to what they had at Zillow.
“They’re all physically sitting next to each other in the office,” she said. “There are whiteboards, they’ve got their devices out, and they’re riffing quickly on things.”
-
Stephanie Danzi, Tinder’s SVP of global marketing, said budget planning is now more fluid.
“I’ve never been able to transfer my Q4 dollars to Q2 with a launch,” Danzi said. "He was like, ‘This is ridiculous.’’
-
Paine said Rascoff has been working on improving relationship between Hinge and Tinder.
Assessment
The comments may not be conclusive given the executives wouldn’t want to jeopardies their jobs. I would have preferred comments from anonymous executives.
