Rush Street Gaming names new CFO and COO
Rush Street Gaming has made two appointments to its senior leadership team, promoting Bill Keena and Marc Arndt to C-level positions.
Keena, a 35-year casino industry veteran, has been named Chief Operating Officer (COO), while Arndt will serve as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Both are long-time Rush Street employees. In 2011, Keena became General Manager of Rivers Casino Des Plaines, while in the same year, Arndt was the first team member to join the Chicago-area property; an operation that Rush Street claimed he was “instrumental” in launching.
In addition to leading the Des Plaines property, Keena most recently served as General Manager for Rivers Casino Pittsburgh. He has further acted as an enterprise-wide casino industry consultant.
Regarding his new role, Keena remarked: “I’m looking forward to working alongside our tremendously talented and dedicated teams to continue their great momentum.”
Meanwhile, as CFO, Arndt will oversee and manage the finance functions of all gaming operations, including Rush Street’s land-based casinos and their affiliated entities.
“I’m excited about Rush Street’s tremendous growth over the past decade and proud of the team’s many accomplishments,” said Arndt.
“We have strong and thoughtful leadership across the entire enterprise. I’m looking forward to continued collaboration and even more great things ahead.”
Both appointments are subject to approvals from jurisdictional gaming boards. Tim Drehkoff, Rush Street Gaming CEO, added: “Bill Keena and Marc Arndt have been part of the Rush Street family for over a decade.
“Their unique combination of institutional history, operational expertise and financial acumen made them the ideal choices for COO and CFO. We’re delighted they’ve accepted these exciting new roles.”
