Raphaella Gordon-Saker is Senior Sustainability & Social Impact Manager at Formula E – the world’s first B-Corp-certified global sport – where she works at the intersection of sustainability, social impact and major-event delivery across the championship’s global host-city portfolio.
Named to the edie 100 list of leading UK sustainability professionals in 2026, Raphaella established Formula E’s global Theory of Change and developed the Better Futures Fund, evolving the championship’s approach to charitable giving into a locally focused grant programme. The Fund supports organisations in Formula E host cities, connecting global impact ambitions with locally identified priorities and creating a more structured approach to community investment and impact.
Her work focuses on how global sport can move beyond standalone initiatives to embed social impact into how events are planned, partnerships are built, and host-city relationships are developed. She also leads major STEM education partnerships and helps shape Formula E’s approach to gender equity, including FIA Girls on Track and the All-Women’s Test.
Raphaella is now focused on developing more participatory, community-led approaches to major-event delivery – exploring how sport can use its platforms, partnerships and convening power to create lasting opportunities for people and communities beyond just event weeks.
