Matt Colletti is originally from Long Island, New York, but has since definitely grown to love the west coast. Some personal passions of Matt include impact investing, traveling, playing soccer and basketball with friends, and hanging out with his baby nieces. From a professional perspective, Matt isexcited to begin my career within banking, where he seeks to make an impact using the financial tools he has developed at USC and via business internships. In his time thus far, he’s been blessed to join some incredible philanthropic, athletic, and business-related campus organizations, especially the GEMS program!

Matt shares “GEMS has already provided me with countless events to connect with incredible recruiters, several on-site visits to major companies like the NFL and SpaceX, and also an unbelievable mentor/USC alum who has succeeded in my desired profession. More than this, GEMS has provided me with an awesome group of classmates that look out for each other, guided by a sensational leader in Professor Michael Paranal, and who have all made the often-feared transition to the working world a truly exciting journey!”
