[1/2] Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd has her photo taken on the red carpet after arriving for the TIME 100 Gala in Manhattan, New York, U.S., April 24, 2018.
She will take over on Jan. 2, while Wolfe Herd will remain executive chair.
"Lidiane's expertise and track record in product and technology is exceptional," said Wolfe Herd as the company looks to adopt artificial intelligence across its products.
Wolfe Herd, 33, launched the company in 2014 after an acrimonious departure from Match Group-owned rival app Tinder, which she had co-founded.
This is the second big executive departure this year at Bumble following the exit of President Tariq Shaukat, who stepped down after three years in the role.
