Wolff was named team principal in July 2018 as part of a three-year plan to increase the team’s competitiveness and maintained this role even when the team changed ownership with Scott Swid joining as president in December 2020.
In the 2021 season Jerome D’Ambrosio joined the Venturi team in the role of vice team principal after hanging up his helmet.
With this organization chart, and using a Mercedes powertrain, Edoardo Mortara finished last season in second position in the standings, while the team in seventh place.
This reorganization had been planned for some time even if it was not expected that D’Ambrosio would become the new team principal.
“It seemed like the right time to make this change after leading the team as team principal for the past three years,” said Wolff.
“Since I took over the team in 2018 I have felt a great sense of pride thanks also to the results we have achieved. Jerome’s entry into the team last year has had a positive impact and I am aware that I am handing over my role to a capable person as Formula E moves towards Gen3 ”.
Susie Wolff is expected to be less present on the racetrack, but will play an active role in seeking a new powertrain deal following Mercedes’ announcement of leaving the series in late 2022.

The CEO of the Venturi team will also oversee the team’s strategic and commercial operations.
Jerome D’Ambrosio expressed his satisfaction with this promotion: “I am grateful to the team for entrusting me with this opportunity. Being Susie’s successor will be a demanding challenge but one that I accept with pleasure ”.
“I have learned a lot from her over the past 12 months and believe that together we will continue to form an incredibly strong team.”
“Last year we managed to compete in our most successful season and it must be the foundation on which to build the future.”
“With Edo and Lucas the whole team breathes a positive atmosphere and everyone is motivated to get back on track to achieve other successes”.
