“Eve is now on solid foundations with strong trading, a healthy balance sheet and a more resilient tech and logistics platform,” Pindar said.
“The rebuild strategy is complete and as Eve shifts its focus to profitable growth, it is the right time to appoint a new chairman to inject fresh thinking, challenge and energy, with the time to fully commit to the next stage in the journey.
“Mike is an exceptional candidate and alongside a new and seriously impressive board I have every confidence that Eve will continue to grow and prosper. I remain a committed advocate of the brand and a loyal shareholder.”
Eve Sleep chief executive Cheryl Calverley said: “Working with Paul as our chairman over the last year has been unexpectedly delightful, and I could not be more grateful for his care, support and guidance as we’ve navigated our rebuild strategy.
“He will remain a close friend of eve and personal mentor Mike will bring a different energy to the role, challenging and stretching the eve business to accelerate for growth.”
