(exechange) — Dallas, Texas, May 3, 2022 — Shar Dubey, chief executive of Match, leaves. As announced by Match Group Inc. in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, Sharmistha (Shar) Dubey leaves her post as chief executive officer at the online dating company, after about two years in the role, effective May 31, 2022.

Shar Dubey’s duties as CEO will be taken over by Bernard Kim, currently President at Zynga Inc.

The fact that Shar Dubey’s successor is brought in from outside suggests that the board may seek to stimulate change with fresh ideas and new initiatives.

“Pivotal in the company’s expansion to new markets”

Match did not give an explicit reason for Shar Dubey’s departure from the CEO post. Match said: “Kim was instrumental in Zynga’s explosive growth and was pivotal in the company’s expansion to new markets such as blockchain and hyper-casual gaming, as well as new platforms like the Nintendo Switch, Snapchat, and smart home devices.”

Precise information regarding Shar Dubey’s future plans was not immediately available.

“Resigning/step down”

Match said: “[A]fter 16 years in various roles across the organization, Shar Dubey will be resigning as an officer of Match Group, and Bernard Kim, the current President of Zynga, has been named Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective May 31.”

Match further said: “On May 2, 2022, Sharmistha Dubey announced her intention to step down from her position as Chief Executive Officer of Match Group, Inc. (“Match Group” or the “Company”), effective May 31, 2022.”

“Not a result of any disagreements”

“Ms. Dubey’s resignation was not a result of any disagreements with Match Group on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices,” Match said.

Match further stated: “The Board engaged a leading global search firm and conducted a robust and extensive search of a diverse slate of candidates for this process.”

Share price decline since May 2021

The announcement follows a decline in Match Group Inc.’s share price of 46% since May 2021.

In the position of CEO since 2020

Dubey will continue to serve as a Director on Match Group’s Board, and will serve as an advisor to the company, allowing her to focus on product strategy while playing an integral role in the transition.
