Mendelsohn joined the board in September 2020 and was interim executive chair between 30 January and 16 October 2023.
Mark Summerfield has been appointed as the permanent non-executive chair of the board with immediate effect.
Summerfield joined the board in September 2019 as a non-executive director and is the chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and the Gaming Compliance Committee, and a member of the ESG Committee.
He will step down as the chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and Limor Ganot will assume this role on an interim basis.
Evoke also announced that Anne de Kerckhove has been appointed as the permanent deputy chair of the board with immediate effect. She joined the board in November 2017 and will continue to serve as senior independent director, as well as chairing the Nominations Committee and the ESG Committee, and serving on the Remuneration Committee.
Mendelsohn said: "It has been a privilege to serve as the chair of evoke. It has been a fantastic experience from shepherding the acquisition of William Hill International through to my tenure as interim executive chair and, more recently, working closely with the board and executive team to develop and articulate Evoke's long-term growth strategy.
"Having overseen the transformation of the business into one of the world's leading betting and gaming companies, now is the right time to hand over to Mark to steward evoke through its next important phase of growth and stability."
