Meet Maurilio

Maurilio is a Chicago-based community advocate and research strategist who leverages data analytics to drive equitable, people-centric solutions. Proud of his Mexican-American heritage and immigrant family roots, Maurilio is dedicated to advocating for marginalized communities and ensuring that local public safety policies are genuinely responsive, positive, and productive.

With nearly 15 years of experience in market research and brand strategy, Maurilio specializes in translating complex human needs into actionable plans through non-traditional communication methods like focus groups and online surveys. He currently serves as a Senior Account Manager at quantilope, following a decade directing strategic insights at The Connell Group. Deeply committed to systemic change, Maurilio established a workplace anti-racist committee at his previous employment organization to help dismantle systems of advantage. He also founded and led a corporate pro bono initiative for five years, directing hundreds of thousands of dollars in services to local non-profits—including programs that help underserved CPS students achieve their goals of attending college.

A Chicagoan for over half his life, Maurilio earned both a B.S. and an M.S. in Engineering from Northwestern University. He currently resides in the Uptown neighborhood with his two cats.
