Extreme E Race Car, Press Conference with McLaren’s Zak Brown and
ICE CMO Stephanie Dobbs Brown
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global
provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, and
McLaren Racing today announced that ICE has become an Official
Partner of the McLaren MX Extreme E Team, which races in a new
all-electric series featuring male and female drivers behind the
wheel. This is the first year that McLaren has entered the Extreme
E series, now in its second season. The series is designed to focus
attention on sustainability and diversity in the sport around the
globe.
The multi-year partnership between ICE and McLaren Racing will
be launched Tuesday with a series of events at the New York Stock
Exchange, an ICE exchange, in which McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown,
driver Tanner Foust, and engineer Leena Gade will ring the Closing
Bell.
ICE and McLaren form a natural partnership, with the winning
legacy of both organizations drawn from their enduring focus on
data and technology. ICE was founded to help modernize trading in
energy markets and has since leveraged its technology to make
markets around the globe more efficient, transparent and
sustainable. Today ICE operates the world’s most liquid
environmental markets, offering environmental, social and
governance (ESG) data to investors and public corporations, and
providing tools to help listed companies manage their
sustainability efforts.
Highlighting the new partnership’s focus, the Number 58 McLaren
Extreme E race car will appear on NYSE’s Experience Square in Lower
Manhattan on Tuesday morning. Later in the day, ICE CMO Stephanie
Dobbs Brown will host McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, McLaren MX
Extreme E Driver Tanner Foust, and McLaren Racing Senior Principal
Race Engineer Leena Gade at a news conference in the NYSE’s Board
Room before moving to the iconic Trading Floor to ring the Closing
Bell on Tuesday afternoon.
“I’ve been a fan of Zak Brown and McLaren Racing for years, and
our team could not be more excited about becoming an Official
Partner of the McLaren Extreme E Team,” said Jeff Sprecher,
Founder, Chair and CEO of ICE. “ICE and McLaren are both driven by
the use of data and technology to create a competitive advantage.
We look forward to collaborating with McLaren Racing, not only to
make an impact in the thrilling all-electric Extreme E
championship, but also to join the leadership effort in the
development of sustainable technology.”
“Partnering with a leading global name in financial markets like
ICE is a fantastic moment for McLaren Racing. Like us, ICE targets
authentic brand engagement driven by data and technology, and we
look forward to joining them at the New York Stock Exchange to
celebrate this new partnership,” said Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren
Racing. “ICE aligns with our commitment to sustainability,
including DE&I. This makes Extreme E a perfect platform to
carry our partnership and raise awareness of the impact of climate
change, while promoting a more level playing field for gender
equality.”
The Extreme E series requires male and female driver lineups as
the teams compete in electric SUVs on off-road courses located in
remote parts of the world. The unique locations on the Extreme E
schedule help to raise awareness about the environmental challenges
of those regions. Beginning with the 2022 Extreme E season, ICE’s
logo will be represented on the chassis side and roof of the
McLaren MX Extreme E car, and on the racing overalls and helmets of
Foust and teammate Emma Gilmour, starting with the recent race in
Saudi Arabia.
ICE’s partnership with the McLaren MX Extreme E team represents
the next chapter in a growing relationship, with Zak Brown
currently appearing in the ICE advertising campaign, “Make the
Connection,” which focuses on using data as a competitive
advantage.
