Marino takes pride in its ability to cultivate and retain industry leaders, and Tom Corsillo, who has spent his entire career at the agency, is among the best examples of our success in nurturing and promoting homegrown talent. A member of our team since 2005, Tom has assumed increasing responsibilities that have culminated in leading and supporting media and public affairs campaigns for some of New York's most high-profile organizations, economic development projects and nonprofits.  

Today, Tom leads Marino’s acclaimed public affairs practice, which is advancing major economic development and public policy initiatives across the tri-state area. He has developed and executed campaigns in support of some of New York’s most consequential development projects. This leadership has contributed to the approval of billions of dollars of economic development and thousands of new homes – including the 2022 approvals of the Throggs Neck, Halletts North and Innovation QNS rezonings, the latter of which is the largest private affordable housing initiative in the history of Queens. His campaigns also have won passage of critical protections for patients, taxpayers, and independent pharmacies from prescription drug middlemen; supported the hospitality industry’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic; and restored voting rights to thousands of California residents.

Tom’s achievements during his Marino career also include building the agency’s nonprofit practice through his work on behalf of prestigious organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City, Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation and DKMS (formerly Delete Blood Cancer). Tom is a producer on The Housing Problem, a podcast focused on New York City housing policy hosted by Rafael Cestero and Kirk Goodrich, and has gained a reputation as an accomplished speechwriter for such luminaries as Derek Jeter, Mark Messier, Sarah Hughes and Soledad O'Brien.

Tom has been recognized by City & State as a “Rising Star” (2018) and as one of New York’s top political consultants (2022). He lives in Fairfield, Connecticut, with his wife, Katherine, and their two sons, Nicholas and Jonathan, and serves on the Fairfield Town Planning & Zoning Commission.
