Rollins Inc.‘s board of directors approved the company’s long-term leadership succession plan that will promote the current president and COO, Jerry Gahlhoff Jr., to become CEO, effective Jan. 1, 2023.

Gary Rollins, current chairman and CEO, is expected to remain as chairman of the board of directors. In preparation for this expected promotion, Gahlhoff will spend the next five months working on this transition with Rollins and John Wilson, vice chairman of Rollins.

“I’ve had the pleasure of supporting the company and our pest control business for over 56 years and am fortunate to have had the opportunity to lead this great organization,” said Rollins, a Pest Management Professional Hall of Famer (Class of 2012). “I look forward to Jerry’s advancement and my continuation as Chairman of the Board.  I am extremely pleased with our succession plan and our outstanding leadership team.”
