Mary Cunningham Agee

Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAR : Mary Cunningham Agee

Mary Cunningham Agee is a former business executive, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Her well-publicized office romance with Bendix Corporation CEO William Agee torpedoed Bendix's 1982 attempt to acquire Martin Marietta and, in the process, destroyed Bendix, too.

Private life

She previously worked for two Fortune 500 companies: Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, and The Bendix Corporation (see ).

For many years she has been devoted to Catholic charities and causes, including the pro-life Nurturing Network (see ) since 1985.

She and her family, husband, William Agee, and their two children, Mary Alana and Will, live in Northern California.

Popular culture

The war between Bendix, Martin Marietta, and Allied was the source of the buzz phrase "Pac Man defense" (i.e. eat your opponent before he eats you).
