About Me

Justin McLeod, CEO at Hinge (he/him) Justin McLeod is Founder and CEO at Hinge, the dating app designed to be deleted. After a few years in management consulting, he attended Harvard Business School, where he was inspired to follow his passion for connecting people. Justin founded Hinge in February 2011 with a mission to create real-life connections. As a romantic and the protagonist of a real-life love story, Justin set out to create an intentional dating app to help millions of people find their person, too. Justin's vision for a more thoughtful experience resonated with singles and Match Group, which acquired the company in 2018. That same year, Hinge became the fastest-growing dating app in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
