And I had been on the board for about a year.

And when the opportunity presented itself, the board turned to me and said, what do you think?

And I immediately jumped at it.

So I had been watching the company for more than a year from the boardroom.

It's an incredible company doing really important work.

I feel very personally motivated by the mission of the company.

There is a loneliness epidemic.

It is a real global problem.

It's existential.

And it impacts longevity and mental health and everything about how society works.

And Match Group is one of the very few companies as the leading dating app company that can do something about it.

And so that's why I jumped in.

I have this kind of mantra, and I write it on the board.

I put it up.

There are stickers around the company of it, posters, et cetera.

It's great people, properly motivated and properly organized, build great products that are informed by user research that then, when properly marketed,

Generate a lot of audience and revenue and profit and then shareholder value.

So it starts with people.

It starts with people and motivation and organization.

So that's where I started.
