Dan Rossomondo to leave Dorna Sports in January 2026 – CCO modernized key areas of MotoGP business – Successor not yet known
MotoGP promoter Dorna Sports announced on December 4 that Dan Rossomondo will leave the company in January 2026. The American took over the position of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) in spring 2023.
Rossomondo was responsible for the global commercial direction of MotoGP. He brought with him many years of experience from the NBA as well as in the areas of media rights, partnerships, and global sports marketing.
During his tenure, Rossomondo restructured key business areas, including sponsorship, hospitality, digital platforms, and international marketing. The goal was to strengthen MotoGP as a global entertainment brand and appeal to new target groups. He also established organizational foundations to ensure the series’ sustainable growth. Rossomondo will oversee the handover until January and ensure the orderly transfer of ongoing projects.
“Dan has been an important part of the commercial development of MotoGP and a trusted member of our management team,” Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta is quoted as saying in a statement.
“We are grateful for his dedication and the positive influence he has had on the sport. We wish him all the best for the future.” Dorna Sports has not yet announced a successor.
“I would like to thank Carmelo and the team for all their support over the past three years,” Rossomondo is quoted as saying. “I loved getting to know this fascinating sport and have become a real fan.”
“In the future, I will continue to follow its successful development from the US when I return to my home country to spend more time with my family.”
Liberty Media acquired a majority stake in Dorna Sports this year and will also have a stronger presence in terms of personnel in the future.
