Match Group adds Bronstein, Moskowitz to board to strengthen product, marketplace and governance

Match Group names two seasoned technology executives to bolster product and marketplace expertise

Match Group is adding Manuel Bronstein and Raina Moskowitz to its board in connection with its 2026 Annual Meeting, moves the company says strengthen governance as it executes a multi-year transformation. The appointments follow a deliberate search and aim to deepen the board’s skills in product development, scaling consumer platforms and marketplace operations — areas management cites as critical to improving user experience and engagement across Match’s portfolio of dating apps.

Bronstein, a veteran product executive known for driving scale and user engagement at consumer platforms, says he is honored to join at an important time and looks forward to contributing to innovation, app and service enhancements and growth. Moskowitz brings a track record of leading and growing global consumer-driven marketplaces while strengthening brand trust and customer loyalty; she highlights her focus on building trusted, customer-centric platforms that foster meaningful connection and long-term value. CEO Spencer Rascoff describes the hires as bringing “two of the smartest operators in consumer technology,” whose hands-on experience building category-defining platforms will help Match deepen its focus on thoughtful, user-first experiences.

The board changes reflect an ongoing governance evolution: with Bronstein and Moskowitz expected to join, Match Group will have added six new directors over the past two years. Chairman Thomas J. McInerney frames the refresh as aligning board capabilities with the company’s strategic priorities, thanking departing directors Sharmistha Dubey, who will not stand for reelection, and Pamela Seymon, who will step down at the annual meeting, for their service since the company’s IPO. Management emphasizes that the new composition is intended to support the company’s next phase of global growth and execution of its transformation agenda.

Board turnover and continuing emphasis on product expertise

The rapid addition of directors signals Match’s prioritization of operational and product experience at the board level as it seeks to boost engagement and retention across its apps. Executives are positioning the hires to accelerate innovation while maintaining focus on trust and safety, areas that remain central to competitive differentiation in dating services.

Industry data-security backdrop raises stakes for consumer platforms

Recent large-scale consumer data breaches at major brands underscore privacy and security risks for companies holding extensive personal data, reinforcing the need for robust protections and prompt incident response. For Match Group, which manages sensitive personal information tied to user identity and relationships, such incidents heighten scrutiny from customers, regulators and investors around data handling and platform safety.
