LONDON (Reuters) - Former Manchester United commercial director Jamie Reigle is taking over from Alejandro Agag as Formula E's chief executive with immediate effect, the all-electric racing series announced on Monday.
The 42-year-old Canadian, who spent a decade at the Premier League club and oversaw global commercial operations, joins from the Los Angeles Rams, where he was executive vice-president of the NFL franchise's business operations.
The FIA-approved championship is starting its sixth season in November with an opening race in Saudi Arabia. Reigle has experience in North America, Europe and Asia, with the Canadian serving previously as United's Hong Kong-based Asia Pacific managing director. He joined the LA Rams in 2017. Formula E last week reported record audience figures and revenues, as well as making a profit for the first time thanks to sponsorship growth.
