Biography
Mark Kantor is Chief Product Officer of Tinder, the dating app owned by Match Group. Dating Industry Insights (DII) reported his role in July 2026, in coverage of the expansion of Tinder's Events feature.
Kantor told Bloomberg that events help foster "natural connections". DII also reported that the Chief Product Officer told Fast Company that events make dating "feel less intimidating". Both comments were made as Tinder expanded Events from a pilot in Los Angeles, launched in March 2026, to nine cities in July, with a target of 26 by September.
Tinder said that 66% of eligible active users in Los Angeles took part in more than 60 third-party events during the pilot, though DII noted that Tinder has not defined what makes a user eligible. According to DII, third-party partners organise the events rather than Tinder itself.
DII's reporting places the Events push in the context of declining payers across Match Group's portfolio and a contraction in Tinder's monthly active users year over year. The article was critical of the strategy, a view that is DII's own analysis rather than anything Kantor said.
Kantor's earlier career is not covered in the sources used for this profile.
