Feb 28 (Reuters) - Bumble on Friday named

Ronald Fior, currently a partner of financial consulting firm

FLG Partners, as the interim finance chief of the dating app

operator, effective March 15.

Fior currently serves as a consultant to Bumble and will

remain in that position following his transition to the CFO

role, the company said. He takes the reins from Anu Subramanian,

who is set to step down from the role next month.

With over 30 years of CFO experience, Fior joins Bumble at a

time when the company is struggling to improve its sluggish

revenue growth amid a drop in paying users.

The company last month announced the return of its founder

Whitney Wolfe Herd as CEO in March. Bumble has also undergone a

series of executive shake-ups, with the departure of its

marketing head in January and the appointment of a new chief

business officer.

Fior has served in interim finance chief roles at e-commerce

firm Perch, cybersecurity company Absolute Software and resale

solutions firm Trove Recommerce in the past five years. He has

held CFO positions at companies including Quotient Technology,

Callidus Software and Ingenuity Systems.

Bumble earlier this month projected quarterly revenue below

analysts' estimates and warned there would be a temporary

decline in paying users by 100,000 to 120,000 in the near term,

as it revamps its application with new features.
