Mauro is part of the Corporate & Crisis Management practice, dealing regularly with risk analysis, contingency planning, crisis preparedness and simulation, litigation communication, issue advertising and delivering media and front end trainings. He also works closely with Burson-Marsteller Digital, helping clients to embrace social media in their campaigns.

Paranoiac, tactless and politically uncorrect, he is an almost perfect modern portrait for Robert Musil's Man without Qualities. Except for he's shorter and getting bald, and has no sister. He's from beautiful Lake Como, a place most Americans discovered thanks to the free publicity it gets from vacationer George Clooney.

He accidentally owned a degree in political science at the Catholic University in Milan. Orrified by the idea of working at the age of 23, he decided to deepen his knowledge of communication-related disciplines and lager beers by completing a master course in European studies and global affairs at the Postgraduate School of Economics and International Relations (ASERI). He carried on grabbing another master diploma in political management and public affairs (courtesy of IED Comunicazione) before he surrended to the idea that life from then on would have been nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat. He was wasting a scholarship around pubs in Oxford when he realized.

Mauro contributed to and/or managed some publishing stuff, most notably the 2005 edition of the Global Business Guide published by Etas (in Italian, see index) and Edelman's ambitious global white paper A Corporate Guide to the Global Blogosphere (available now in Japanese!). He gave speeches at few conferences, securing passionate insights as well as guaranteeing hilarious performances: our host reached the peak in 2007 with his appearance at the Change the Mankind, don't let the Climate Change event in Arenzano, when he broke his pants just before to get upon the stage (watch the full speech in Italian, forget about THAT scene).

He's also known as Iron Mauro due to his loyalty to British heavy metal monsters Iron Maiden. In fact, he has been playing drums in the tribute band The Clairvoyants for some years (his brother Paolo eventually still runs the business). Other interests include playing chess quite seriously and basketball (Mauro is a lifelong supporter of AP Cantù, his birth town's team).
