Research notes
Beth Paretta was appointed Managing Director of MSG (the licence-holding operator of the Citroen Formula E team) in May 2026, working alongside Team Principal Blais. Her remit is reported to be commercially focused -- marketing, promotion and bringing in commercial partners -- and is therefore classified as non-engineering. She was previously the founder of the IndyCar team Paretta Autosport and, from 2024, served as Vice President of Competition at Formula E Operations (FEO). Her move to MSG has sparked paddock controversy over a potential conflict of interest.
