ABOUT MATT PETTINATO

Former public safety tech founder turned Cybersecurity & IT recruiting leader at Covenant Technologies. Passionate about connecting top talent with cutting-edge opportunities in the digital realm. Proud Penn State graduate, with a B.S. in Business, and a minor in Entrepreneurship. Co-founded ALERTech during my sophomore year of college, where we engineered a revolutionary personal safety app for college students and campus police. This groundbreaking SaaS-based product garnered numerous accolades, igniting my entrepreneurial spirit. Spent five transformative years immersed in the public safety industry. As a founding member of the Emergency Response Training and Certification Association (ERTCA), I contributed to shaping industry standards. Guiding companies in implementing cutting-edge tech solutions within the public safety space, I co-led a triumphant $2 million budget raise from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 2022, I joined Covenant Technologies, a premier talent provider in Cybersecurity and IT, channeling my business development prowess and fostering fruitful relationships. As the Head of Delivery, I steer Covenant\'s recruiting operations, ensuring seamless client staffing solutions and delivering unparalleled opportunities to exceptional job seekers. Based in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, I cherish time with my amazing fiance, Andi. Beyond my professional endeavors, I dabble as an online reseller, focusing on vintage clothing and collectibles. When I\'m not working, I am cheering for my beloved Philadelphia sports teams, trying to improve my golf game, or traveling to see Dave Matthews Band.
