FanDuel has promoted its chief risk and compliance officer, Carolyn Renzin, to chief legal and compliance officer—filling a vacancy created by last week's promotion of the former legal chief, Christian Genetski, to president.
Renzin joined the New York-based online gambling company in 2019 as vice president of legal, regulator and compliance. She'd previously spent six years at JPMorgan Chase, rising to to assistant general counsel.
"Carolyn is a passionate, bright, empathetic, and extremely hard-working leader and colleague," Genetski said in a statement.
"In her time at FanDuel, she has led transformative change for our business in building out a regulatory and compliance function befitting the current and future scale of our company, and I'm confident she is the right choice to lead our high-performing legal team going forward."
Prior to JPMorgan, Renzin was managing director at consulting company Guidepost Solutions, where she worked with companies under regulatory scrutiny to enhance their compliance functions.
Previously, she spent almost a decade as an attorney at boutique law firm Stillman & Friedman, where she focused on litigation and regulatory enforcement.
She began her career as a law clerk for Judge Ronald M. Gould on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and then as a litigation associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.
FanDuel's sportsbook products are available in 15 states. The company recently launched online live dealer games in Pennsylvania.
