Evoke, the owner of William Hill, has appointed Janice Duncan as its new Group Finance Director while takeover speculation continues to surround the company.
Duncan joins evoke after departing her previous role as Chief Financial Officer at Casumo, bringing significant senior leadership experience to the business.
She carries 13 years of industry experience into the LSE-listed company, a background that spans several prominent roles across the gambling sector.
Her career history includes previous positions at William Hill itself, making her appointment a notable return to familiar territory within the broader business.
The appointment arrives at a particularly active moment for evoke, with rumours circulating around a potential financing takeover involving TPG.
Evoke’s listing on the London Stock Exchange means the company faces heightened scrutiny from investors and analysts during any period of ownership speculation.
Duncan’s extensive financial background in the iGaming sector positions her well to navigate the pressures that typically accompany such corporate uncertainty.
Her move from Casumo, a Malta-based online casino operator, to a major land-and-digital betting group represents a significant step in her career trajectory.
The timing of the appointment suggests evoke’s leadership is committed to strengthening its executive team regardless of the ongoing ownership rumours swirling around the company.
With a new Group Finance Director now in place, evoke appears focused on maintaining operational stability as it manages both internal transitions and external market speculation simultaneously.
