About Catalyst Point
In 25 years of senior leadership in military and civilian sectors, Matt learned that leaders have an outsized impact on their teams and organizations. In particular, he learned the most impactful leaders excelled by:
-
Sharing their authentic selves in all interactions and committing to self-awareness practices
-
Navigating intricate human interactions successfully via a combination of interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and strategic “people first” approaches
-
Communicating adeptly and succinctly with tailored messages and clear intent
-
Committing to self-improvement to stay relevant and effective in a dynamic world
Matt also learned leaders struggle to accomplish these things alone and benefit from thought partners to overcome their individual and team challenges. As a result, Matt founded Catalyst Point Leadership Advisors in 2024 to help scale leaders and optimize teams for maximum impact on the world around them.
At Catalyst Point Leadership Advisors, we understand that leaders are catalysts in their organizations. Our focus is assisting them and their teams to be more effective at driving greater and lasting positive impact.

Aysu Katun| Vice President, Greif Inc.
Catalyst Point Leadership Advisors provides a solution to an unaddressed problem in manufacturing: dedicated, early development of new leaders. Most companies focus coaching on mid-to-senior level leaders who are usually the furthest from the work and team. I have found that the most impactful cultural investment a business can make is the development of first-time leaders who interact daily with a larger percentage of an organization.
Matt has built a reputation as an incredible developer of new leaders. His approachability and empathy make him highly effective with younger generations. The list of leaders who have come from his coaching tree spans multiple industries with one common theme – they are highly engaged leaders who produce winning teams. I am proud to count myself among those who have benefitted from Matt’s coaching. If you are looking for ways to improve your culture (and thereby your results), I strongly encourage you to consider Catalyst Point as a solution.
