Rush Street Gaming unveiled a leadership succession plan on Wednesday afternoon, announcing that Chief Financial Officer Tim Drehkoff will replace Greg Carlin as CEO of the company.

Rush Street made the announcement less than 24 hours before the first round of the NCAA Tournament, one of the largest events on the annual sports betting calendar. Carlin, a co-founder of Rush Street Gaming, spent 17 years with the company, including the last several months in a dual role as vice chairman of Rush Street Interactive. His transition will be effective on May 1.

Carlin previously informed the company in December of his intention to leave, according to an SEC filing.
