Mary Fleury’s professional story is a story about longevity. She’s been with Ford Motor Company for over 30 years and that time has allowed her to absorb information that has helped her throughout her tenure — to understand how other departments, divisions and operations work; be able to benchmark and learn from peers in the industry; and also to learn from and watch what’s been done before.
Undoubtedly her untraditional route to security is what has given her a diverse perspective, but also the agile security posture of embracing rather than resisting rapid change within the security space. In her role now as Director of Global Security, Fleury is responsible for security operations, investigations, executive protection, business continuity, security technology and new product security at the company’s facilities and manufacturing sites.
