Is it possible to change account owner on Google Play developers console?

Question

Account owner is the account who first signed to the developers console and created the app.

Only the account owner can invite people and manage users.

In our case, the person who opened the account is not working with us anymore, and we want to transfer the ownership to someone else in the company.

Is it possible ?

it seems that to only change the email of the owner you'd have to go through the whole transfer process as well

But this doesn't even answer the question. Of course you can transfer an app but wasn't the question to change the owner of the developer account?

I have a developer account and I can't purchase a new one. Is it possible to change the ownership of Developer Account from one email account to another email address (not the case of app transferring from one account to another account)?

BIt old but it's a top hit on Google. You can't change the account owner without transferring the app. You have to transfer the app to a new account, with a new new owner.

This doesn't answer the question.
