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

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 ?

Yes!

There's a form and explanation just for transferring applications between accounts: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/checklist/3294213

The actual transfer form is here but I guess can change (e.g. android->google->market->play->store) and the explanation is really important to understand the process.

The correct answer to this question is: Absolutely NO.

Google explicity declares:

The account owner's email address and country can't be changed. However, you can use a different email address (username) to identify your Google Account. You can also create a new account using a different email address or country and transfer your apps to your new account.
