I say no to this. And the reason why is because it was told that Pierce had a daughter who was rescued by Fury, and Pierce gratefully thanked him by promoting him as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and kept it that way until the events of the film. It would've seemed that Pierce's love for his daughter is what drove him to genuinely gain Fury's trust and that there is no indication that he would kill her for his plot.
