Leonardo Manzo is the Head of Sustainability of the UIM E1 World Championship, the world’s first all-electric powerboat championship. In his role, he is responsible for the oversight of sustainable event operations and environmental footprint management strategy.
E1’s vision to combine technology and sport to create a platform that can promote and accelerate decarbonisation on the water drew Leonardo to the Championship.
