Toto Wolff is a successful investor and motorsport executive, known for his leadership as Team Principal & CEO of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, achieving multiple Formula One championships. After securing a class win at the 1994 Nürburgring 24 Hours, Toto Wolff established himself as a prominent figure in both motorsport and investment. He founded Marchfifteen, an investment company, in 1998, followed by Marchsixteen in 2004. These ventures initially focused on internet and technology companies during the dot-com era, later strategically expanding into medium-sized industrial and listed companies, including a significant stake in HWA AG, a key partner for Mercedes-Benz’s DTM and Formula 3 programs.
He further solidified his commitment by signing a new three-year deal in 2023 to continue in his pivotal role as Team Principal and CEO. Beyond the racetrack, Wolff has been recognized for his contributions to business and leadership, receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Cranfield University in 2021 and being appointed an Associate Fellowship of Oxford Saïd Business School in the same year. His leadership approach was also the subject of a Harvard Business School case study in 2022.
