He began his career at Autoliv in 1996, progressing into various engineering, operations and quality leadership roles in several facilities in Utah, serving from 2011-18 as plant manager in several facilities.

During this time, Fox provided outstanding leadership and contribution to the evolution of the Autoliv Americas automation processes.  He is currently serving as the Vice President Brazil where he has led the development and implementation of a successful turnaround strategy for South America. This international experience naturally expanded Fox’s leadership scope and scale. He will relocate from Brazil to Auburn Hills, Mich. later this year.
