GSEH Announces Leadership Transition
Wilmington, DE - November 10th, 2025 - Gotham Sports & Entertainment Holdings (GSEH) today announced that Evan Mercer will step down as President & Chief Executive Officer, effective Friday. Mercer’s departure follows a period of significant growth and innovation for the organization, including the expansion of youth soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, and field hockey club programs, the successful launch of Rising Stars camps, clinics, recruiting showcases, and tournament events and the multitude of Apex360 Sports Management athletes who have gone on to NCAA success through its recruiting advising programming.
During his tenure, Mercer oversaw GSEH’s acquisition by Fieldstone Equity Partners and guided the company through a transformative stage of investment and expansion. Under his leadership, GSEH established a reputation for player roster guarantees, transparent recruiting pathways, and athlete-first programming.
“It has been an honor to lead Gotham Sports & Entertainment Holdings during such a pivotal time,” said Evan Mercer. “Together with our athletes, families, and partners, we built a foundation that will continue to disrupt the youth sports landscape and empower the next generation. I am proud of what we accomplished and confident in the organization’s future.”
“Evan’s vision and leadership were instrumental in positioning GSEH as a national leader in youth sports innovation,” said Rebecca Lang, Managing Partner at Fieldstone Equity Partners. “We thank him for his contributions and look forward to building on the strong foundation he leaves behind.”
The Board of Directors had been previously informed of Mercer’s intention to step down and had already initiated a search for his successor and will announce new leadership shortly.
