Ten days after Apollo Global completed its acquisition of Yahoo (formerly Verizon Media) from Verizon for $5 billion, it has appointed a new CEO for the group. Jim Lanzone, who is currently the CEO of dating app Tinder, is coming on to lead the company (which, disclaimer, also owns TechCrunch). Renate Nyborg, who had been running Tinder’s business in EMEA, is taking on the role of CEO at Tinder.

Guru Gowrappan, who had led the division for three years under Verizon, is stepping down and taking on a role as “advisor” to Apollo.
