Hinge (acquired by Match Group in 2018) announced the promotion of Michelle Parsons to Chief Product Officer. As Chief Product Officer, Michelle will focus on both enhancing the user experience through product innovations and developing internal systems that will help scale product development. Tim MacGougan, Hinge's current CPO, is stepping into the newly-created Chief Design Officer role as the company doubles down on its goal to have the most effective app design. Prior to Hinge, Michelle had extensive product leadership experience at Spotify as the Product Lead of Personalization and at Netflix as the Product Lead of Global Kids and Family. She is deeply skilled and passionate about articulating a brand's vision and delivering clear workstreams that support employee and company growth. In the near term, Michelle and her team are prioritizing four primary product areas: self-expression, interaction, inclusion and user discovery. Hinge's current in-depth profiles allow users to showcase their personalities, and future in-app features will empower daters to share a 3D version of themselves, including rich media within profiles and conversations.
