Matthew Morinello

With over 14 years of experience in the hospitality and healthcare industries, I am a passionate and driven sales leader with a proven track record of delivering results and building lasting relationships. I lead a dedicated team in driving impactful change and overseeing the growth and retention of pharmacy benefit accounts. My background in hotel planning and control, including international experience in Lake Como, Italy, has sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my commitment to exceptional customer service. With a Master’s in Business Management from Niagara University, my leadership is rooted in extensive industry experience. Since relocating to Naples in 2018 from Upstate New York, I have immersed myself in local initiatives, serving as Vice Chair for the Greater Naples Board of Directors and joining the Leadership Collier Foundation Advisory Council. I am proud to contribute to community service, having graduated from Leadership Collier in 2024 and serving as Class Chair for Everglades Day for the Leadership Collier Class of 2025. I am dedicated to forging corporate partnerships with vital local organizations such as Healthcare Network, Avow Cares, the American Heart Association, and Leadership League (sponsorship for Leadership Collier). I also stand as an investor in The Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce. At the Immokalee Foundation, I have developed an annual networking seminar to empower students with essential networking skills for their CEO summit. Alongside my fiancé, Grace, I actively support local animal welfare through over 100 hours each at the Catty Shack Cat Cafe, benefiting the Gulf Coast Humane Society. My personal ties to Everglades City underscore my commitment to environmental and community issues. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy fishing, gardening—a skill passed down from my grandfather—and am passionate about continuous personal education and cultural exploration. My interest in culture and the arts reflects Naples' role as a global leader in these fields, reinforcing my dedication to Florida’s growth and well-being.
