Mark A. Stevens

Senior Vice President, Corporate Risk, Fluor Corporation

BS Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly Pomona, 1975

MBA, Cal State Fullerton, 1983

Shortly after earning his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Cal Poly Pomona, Mark A. Stevens joined Fluor Corporation, a Dallas-based company that provides engineering, procurement, construction and project management services. He later served as vice president of power generation, vice president of Latin America operations, president of the company’s oil, gas and power strategic business unit, and president of the company’s energy and chemicals strategic business unit.

Today, Mark serves as Fluor’s senior vice president, corporate risk, with responsibilities for the company’s project risk review processes and for identifying opportunities to improve its commercial approaches.

“My biggest lesson from my years at Cal Poly Pomona was not the memorization of equations in thermo or fluid mechanics, but instead was the ability to analyze any problem and come up with a logical approach to addressing it,” Mark says. “This is a lesson that stays with you for life.”
