Julie Radford joined the company in April in a role that includes overseeing global communications, employee engagement, public policy, and external affairs.
Bumble, the dating app, was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd a decade ago and stood out from Tinder in the online dating market by centering women. For years, only women could send the first message on the app in a heterosexual pairing, and the brand’s tagline was “women make the first move.”
Bumble also announced the hires of Eventbrite’s Vivek Sagi as chief technology officer and Deirdre Runnette, who came from the warehouse infrastructure tech company Flexe, as chief legal officer.
“These leadership additions represent an exciting next step as we continue to build a world-class team committed to delivering against our bold vision for 2025,” Wolfe Herd said in a statement. “Julie, Deirdre, and Vivek each bring exceptional experience, leadership, and passion to their respective functions, and I’m thrilled to welcome them to the Bumble Hive.”
