Tinder CEO demoted, but app popularity grows
The social media dating app recently swiped left on Sean Rad, who will continue to stay with the company in a different lead role.

First, a sexual harassment lawsuit from co-founder Whitney Wolfe led to the resignation of CMO Justin Mateen. Now, the company’s founder and CEO Sean Rad has been demoted.
IAC, the Barry Diller-owned media conglomerate that owns Tinder, made the move last month after announcing that it will offer a premium paid service on the app.
