Mary is a Distinguished University Professor of Strategic Leadership at the Ivey Business School at Western University. In 2021, she was recognized on a global list, representing the top two percent of the most cited scientists in her discipline, and in 2023, she received the Lifetime Career Achievement Academy of Management Distinguished Educator award.
