Evoke has announced that Lord Jonathan Mendelsohn is to step down from his roles of chair and non-executive director with immediate effect, with Mark Summerfield being appointed as his replacement.
Lord Mendelsohn joined Evoke’s board in September 2020 and was appointed non-executive chair in March 2021. He also had a spell as interim executive chair from January to October of 2023.
During his tenure, Mendelsohn oversaw significant change at Evoke. Major developments included the acquisition of William Hill’s non-US assets from Caesars. The deal, which completed in July 2022, was valued at £2.2 billion ($2.9 billion).
Mendelsohn was also at the helm when now-CEO Per Widerström joined the business in July 2023.
