The Los Angeles-based online dating site eHarmony announced Tuesday that founder Neil Clark Warren will retire as chief executive officer but remain chairman, and longtime Vice President Grant Langston will take over as CEO.
The company said the changes are effective immediately.
eHarmony board Director Jamie McJunkin said Langston “is a natural choice to succeed Dr. Warren as CEO as he has been at his side since the inception of the company. His level of experience in the field of online dating is unparalleled and we are pleased to elevate him to this position.”
Warren said Langston “has been a guiding influence for the company and understands this space better than anyone else in the industry.”
eHarmony, which was founded in 2000, operates online dating services in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Australia.
