Formula E stands as the first fully electric world championship in motorsport, sanctioned by the FIA. It has grown exponentially since its founding in 2011, largely due to the leadership team guiding it.
At the forefront of this team is Alejandro Agag, Co-Founder & Chairman, whose vision of a sustainable, electric motorsport began as an idea written on a napkin. Under his leadership, the series has established itself as the sport of the future, attracting a growing global audience.
The CEO, Jeff Dodds, has been a key figure in the expansion of Formula E, focusing on the sport’s growth and maintaining the championship as the first sport with net-zero carbon emissions from its inception.
