Here’s what Catholic Leaders say about Matt…

• 

  Matt is a Catholic marketing visionary, with the ability to see things others can’t see. He’s creative, focused, innovative and has an incredible work ethic and energy level beyond almost anyone with whom I’ve worked. He’s also a high-level thinker and sees both the interpersonal dynamics and the business aspects of a project.  I worked very closely with Matt for over 20 years and he is one of my favorite people. I feel honored to have worked with him. He is a man of integrity, charity and can be trusted to follow through on his word. Any organization that Matt works with will experience a serious lift and impact. It will benefit from the sum of his skills, talents, extensive experience, contacts and vision.

  Look behind the curtain of many initiatives that have made an impact on our generation of dynamic, faithful Catholics and Matt Pinto is there. From the Chosen Confirmation program, to the Bible Timeline program and podcast, to Envoy Magazine (for you older faithful!), and so much more, it would be hard to calculate just how many people have been reached with the hope and joy of the Gospel because of works Matt has either directly executed or capably handled and given a platform to. He’s a blessing to the Church.

• 

  Matt Pinto is the most catholic Catholic entrepreneur I know, a pioneer of that land where faith, culture, and commerce meet. But don’t mistake pioneer for old – after 30+ years of planting, growing, and harvesting in that tricky soil, Matt hasn’t lost any of his enthusiasm but has gained much know-how, and more important, wisdom. He’s that rare sounding board who understands the workings of the world and the Faith and thrives on dreaming up new ways to bring them together.

• 

  Matt Pinto has been one of the most effective lay leaders in the Church in the United States for the past 25 years. His vision, passion, and integrity helped to build some of the most transformative apostolates in the Church today. From Ascension to the Theology of the Body Institute and more, Matt’s legacy is already substantial.

• 

  I’ve known Matt for over twenty years. We’ve worked extensively together on a multitude of projects and endeavors promoting the Catholic faith. I have no doubt that with Matt’s talents he could have and would have excelled in any number of secular pursuits.  Instead, for nearly three decades now, he’s dedicated his energy, passion, and business acumen to the spread of the Gospel.  That may well say more about Matthew Pinto than anything else.  Matt remains a trusted friend and advisor, one of my go-to men when I am in need of counsel on issues where faith and business matters intersect.

• 

  Matt Pinto is a gifted visionary, skilled at analyzing a business plan to determine uniquely creative paths toward a goal. I have always admired his ability to balance enthusiasm and restraint when presenting to people at every stage in their faith journey the “genius of Catholicism.” Matt has integrity; he will always offer his best. Our working relationship spans decades, during which time he has guided me with candor and grace. Because of his humility, he likely has no idea the level of impact he’s had on my professional and personal decisions.

• 

  I love working with Matt! He’s sharp, energetic, creative, well-connected, down-to-earth, and fiercely dedicated to the Church. For decades, now, he’s been a leader in contributing top-quality products and events for the Church. Because of his seasoned experience, focus, and passion, Matt would be a key asset to any Catholic effort.

• 

  Few laymen have made a greater impact on the Catholic Church in this country than Matt Pinto. At every turn, Matt is ahead of the pack. As a visionary, he sees the tide turning before the rest of us. As a competitor (which he has been to me for over 13 years), he is a gentleman and a collaborator, always placing service to others and the Church before personal gain. In short, when Matt has something to say, we should all stop and listen. Period.

• 

  Matthew has incredible business insight. Not only can he quickly spot challenges and obstacles, but in the next breath he’s diving into solutions. He’s a mentor who’s not only firmly rooted in the Catholic faith but also in the world of business. Mathew is not someone who leads from theory…he leads from rich experience, humility, and courage.

• 

  I walked away from our first session with Matthew with a list of insights, meaningful to-dos, and encouragement to dive into the work to which God has called me. Straight-talker but not brusque. Knowledgeable but not heady. Experienced but not proud. Quick-thinking but not frenetic. A meeting with Matthew is one I always look forward to – no one else has the mix of skills, insight, experience, and perspective like him.
