Mauricio Pages ’68

 Maury died Feb. 14, 2024, at home surrounded by his family, having succumbed to pneumonia, a complication of Parkinson’s disease.

Maury came to us from St. Andrew’s Scots School in Olivos, Argentina, where he played on the rugby team and worked for the school magazine. At Princeton, Maury majored in politics and participated in freshman soccer. He was chairman of the Latin American Affairs Committee and the Whig-Clio Speakers Bureau. Maury ate at Campus Club and lived at 112 Little with roommates Marty Faletti, Greg Hess, and Mark Hamilton during his senior year.

After graduation, he received an MBA from Columbia Business School. He started his business career as a marketing consultant at Cresap, McCormick and Paget in New York. His international career began at PepsiCo, where he rose to be senior vice president for Latin America and Canada, and later president of Pepsi Cola Central. He later became president of the Americas for AC Nielsen. He served on several nonprofit boards, including Pro Mujer, the Trudeau Institute and Elgin Academy.

Maury was a lifelong fan of Argentine soccer and spent much time on soccer fields coaching his children’s soccer teams. He was a runner, a cyclist, and a great conversationalist.

The class extends its deepest sympathies to Maury’s wife Pat; son Mauricio; daughter Monica; and six grandchildren. A fund has been created in his name to support Parkinson’s disease research.
