Mr. Ronald Dennis CBE (born 1 June 1947) serves as the executive chairman of McLaren Automotive as well as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Group. He is also a major stakeholder in both businesses. Additionally, until 2009, he served as the team principal of McLaren Racing, the group’s Formula One team.

Dennis sold half of his 30 percent stake in the McLaren Group to the Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company in January 2007, leaving him with a 15 percent stake in the company. As part of a transaction that was completed in 2011, Dennis, together with co-owners Mansour Ojjeh’s TAG Group and the Bahraini Mumtalakat Holding Company, purchased back Daimler AG’s 40 percent stake in the company in 2009. 

At the time of writing, Mumtalakat owned 50 percent of the Group’s stock, with Dennis and Mansour Ojjeh each owning a quarter of the total stock. When Ron Dennis was listed as having a net worth of £90 million on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2006, he was ranked 648 on the list; however, the Times reported that his fortune had increased to £200 million by 2009.
