Beth Paretta is the VP of Sporting for the FIA Formula E electric global racing series and the founder and owner of Paretta Autosport – a professional, women-forward race team that launched in the INDYCAR series in 2021.

In addition to leading brand development and managing multiple vehicle launches, she managed the operations and marketing of racing programmes in NASCAR, ALMS, IMSA, SRO, SuperCross, TransAm, Global RallyCross, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During her tenure FCA-supported teams won three national championships: NASCAR Cup Series, IMSA (GTLM), and TransAm (TA2).

 

In 2022, with retired racing driver Lyn St. James, Beth co-founded Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA), a professional organisation dedicated to the advancement of women working across all roles and disciplines of motor racing by promoting networking, mentorship, and education.
