Mazda Canada is proud to announce that Amy Fleming, Senior Director, Chief Operating Officer of Mazda Canada Inc., has been recognized as one of the 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry for the second time. This prestigious honour highlights Fleming’s exceptional leadership, innovation, and influence in the automotive sector.

The 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry recognizes female leaders in the automotive field–those who make major decisions and have significant influence at their companies. 

The 2025 class of 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry emerged from a months-long nomination and judging process that attracted hundreds of entries from the United States, Canada and Mexico. This sixth list includes engineers, mobility leaders, manufacturing and marketing executives, financiers, dealer principals and designers.

This repeat recognition places Fleming among a distinguished group of industry trailblazers whose impact continues to shape the future of mobility.

Fleming started her career in automotive back in 1992 working at a car dealership in her hometown of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. With over thirty years of dynamic industry experience under her belt, Fleming became Mazda Canada’s first Chief Operating Officer in April 2023. She currently oversees Mazda Canada’s national sales, marketing, fixed operations and customer experience operations. Under her leadership, Mazda Canada has seen record levels of business quality, employee engagement, retailer partner performance, and retail partner satisfaction.

“Being recognized once is an honour. Being recognized twice speaks volumes about the calibre of Amy’s leadership,” said David Klan, President & Chief Executive Officer of Mazda Canada. “Her vision, passion, and unwavering commitment to living our values to drive our industry forward with purpose is truly inspirational.”
