Abstract
James Mercer ’91 is no stranger to the fast-paced world of sports management, and that's certainly the case in his current role as commercial director for Envision Racing's Formula E team.
Formula E is the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's (FIA's) single-seat car racing series, which uses only electric vehicles. Mercer got his start in sports at Illinois State University as a men's tennis student-athlete and history major, which led him to roles as a player agent and in professional tennis, rugby, and motorsports organizations.
In this episode of Redbird Buzz, Mercer shares why he came to Illinois State sight unseen, how landing his dream job right out of college changed his perspective, and how Formula E and its commitment to sustainability.
