In 2025, after a 14-month break from the role, Wolfe Herd returned as CEO, reinvigorated by new inspiration and vision for the company’s future.
A defining element of Bumble’s growth has been Wolfe Herd’s dedication to building trust and protecting users. In 2019, she championed the passage of the Lewd Photo Law, testifying before both chambers of the Texas legislature.
