Yes, Mark Fields, the current COO of Ford Motor Company and its named successor to current CEO Alan Mulally is Jewish. His ancestors at some point in the last century changed the family's surname from Finkelman to Fields. In November 2012 Fields was promoted to COO of the company started by the late Henry Ford and in April 2014 it was announced he would replace Mulally upon his retirement from the auto company.
Mark Fields is the descendant of Russian and Romanian Jews. He became a bar mitzvah at a Conservative synagogue in Paramus, New Jersey. His mother would send matzah for Passover and candles for Hanukkah no matter where in the world he was working for Ford.
According to blogger Rabbi Jason Miller, "Mark Fields and his family have homes in both Dearborn, Michigan and Delray Beach, Florida. He does not have membership at any synagogue in the Metro Detroit area."
