Whitney Wolfe Herd

Technology Entrepreneur & Visionary on Values-Led Innovation

Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder of Bumble and pioneer of woman-first digital design, delivering a 2026 keynote for 92 Speakers on the 'Kindness Economy' and AI safety.

Whitney Wolfe Herd is a definitive architect of the digital era and a pioneer of equitable technology. As the founder and CEO of Bumble Inc., she transformed a category-defining platform into a global movement by prioritising safety, respect, and female agency. Whitney continues to lead Bumble’s next chapter, focusing on AI-driven connectivity and the ethical implications of product design. Her career is a masterclass in disruptive entrepreneurship, proving that redesigning power dynamics within a mass-market product can create both cultural impact and commercially formidable outcomes.

Whitney specialises in "Intentional Design," deconstructing how platform choices carry deep societal consequences. She explores the intersection of digital trust and consumer behaviour, advocating for leadership that takes full responsibility for systemic outcomes. For 92 Speakers’ clients, she provides a sophisticated framework for purpose-driven growth, demonstrating how to build resilient brands that challenge ingrained social norms while maintaining market dominance.

A composed and intellectually sharp presence, Whitney offers C-suite boards a grounded roadmap for leading with influence.
