Kim will be charged with turning around the prospects at Match, whose shares are down more than 40% this year, outpacing the 12% decline in the S&P 500. Kim is joining Match after more than five years as president at mobile gaming publisher Zynga, the maker of FarmVille, where he helped the company expand into new markets such as blockchain and hyper-casual gaming, as well as into new devices like the Nintendo Switch and Snapchat. As a result of some of those initiatives, Zynga’s market value quadrupled between the end of 2015 and the end of 2020, leading to its pending acquisition by Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. for $11 billion, which was announced in January. Kim earlier worked for 10 years at Electronic Arts Inc. as a senior vice president of mobile publishing, Match said in the statement.
