Mark Van Ryswyk: From Gaming to Love – The Journey of Tinder’s Former CPO

Mark Van Ryswyk is the former Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Tinder, one of the world’s most well-known dating platforms, where he led the transformation of product strategies, driving significant growth and enhancing user engagement.

Before joining Tinder, Van Ryswyk had a rich career in the video game industry. He held leading positions at several major companies, including Executive Vice President at Glu Mobile, where he expanded the company’s market presence in the casual lifestyle category, leading category-defining games such as Kim Kardashian Hollywood and Design Home. He was also Vice President at Electronic Arts, where he spearheaded the operational transformation of EA Mobile into a services vertical.

He is coming to AI Weekend to tell us all about his work at Tinder, including what it was like to oversee all the major updates of the application, whose task, as Van Ryswyk often points out, is to “provide a more effective way to connect and find love“.
