Andrei Cherny, the chief executive officer of financial-technology firm Aspiration, is stepping down from his post at the company he co-founded amid a delay in plans to merge with a special purpose acquisition company.

Olivia Albrecht, who joined earlier this year as the firm’s chief sustainability officer, is taking over as CEO, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing the move that hasn’t been announced publicly. Cherny didn’t immediately return a message for comment.
