ABB FIA Formula E Championship and modis team up in the hunt for digital innovation manager

The ABB FIA Formula E Championship has reunited with official partner Modis – the leading experts in IT, engineering and life science professional solutions – to offer another talented innovator the opportunity of a lifetime working with the most intense and progressive category in motorsport.

Business Empresarial.- The Modis Innovation Manager Challenge launched last season to help discover the world’s next technology protege. With expert knowledge and support from Modis, this season the Digital Innovation Manager will help the series with its rapidly growing Esports strategy, working within Formula E’s technology department for six months – being given the chance to demonstrate their know-how using the ground-breaking platform of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

Alejandro Agag, Founder & CEO of Formula E, said: “The Modis Innovation Manager Challenge has helped the ABB FIA Formula E Championship reach a new audience of budding innovators and entrepreneurs, who have chosen our platform to test the next big thing in technology and software. It’s been a pleasure watching Barnee, the inaugural Modis Innovation Manager, grow in confidence and ability, while showing my team a thing or two! I’m excited about seeing the crop of new talent coming through.”

Barnee Lloyd, 2018 Formula E Innovation Manager, said: “For me, the entire experience was positive and productive, and I found myself making a direct contribution to Modis and the Formula E experience overall.  This year’s programme is an amazing chance for someone to shine in one of the fastest-growing sport brands in the world.”
