"Nicholas Richard "Nick" Fry", is the former Chief Executive Officer of the Mercedes-Benz in Formula One/Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team, having previously served in similar roles at previous incarnations of the company.

His career in motoring started with the Ford Motor Company in 1977, as a graduate trainee from the University of Wales with a degree in Economics. Working first in Sales and then Market Research, in 1978, he was moved to Product Development as Product Planner. He helped develop a variety of models over the next 12 years, including several performance models like the Ford Escort RS Cosworth/Ford Escort Cosworth, the Ford RS200/RS200 and others. He also spent a spell at Aston Martin in the early 1990s whilst the company was under Ford ownership, overseeing the development and launch of the critically acclaimed DB7 model and switch from manufacturer of handbuilt-only vehicles at the traditional Newport Pagnell site to a higher-volume producer at a new factory operation at Bloxham.
