Shares of the Match Group are up more than 50% since the company separated from IAC in July of last year—and recently got an extra boost from the news that the company would join the S&P 500 in September. The Tinder parent has continued to grow throughout the pandemic: In the first half of 2021, revenue surged 25% over the previous year. And Dubey got the country’s attention when she became one of the only public company CEOs to take a stand in opposition to a regressive abortion law passed by Texas, Match’s home state. Dubey is personally creating a fund that will provide aid to any Match employee who needs to seek abortion care outside state lines. Also notable: The company’s board is approaching gender parity, with women holding 45% of seats.
