Thank you for visiting the Catalys website.
Catalys has been included in the “Consulting industry chaos map by founding background and ownership (2026)”, published on 27 July 2026 by Hideal Partners Inc., which runs a career service for senior professionals.
About the chaos map
The map places 77 consulting firms on two axes: where the founders or senior leaders came from, together with the firm’s ownership, and the year it was founded. In recent years more consultants have left global strategy firms, the Big Four and large Japanese firms to set up on their own, and what those firms do has widened into IT and digital, AI, new business, M&A, investment and talent. As names and headcounts alone make it harder to see where a firm came from and what it is good at, the map was made as a way of taking in the industry as a whole.
Catalys appears in the category of firms whose founders came from global strategy consulting.

How Catalys is described
The article describes Catalys as a strategy consulting firm working on growth strategy, new business, M&A, AI and digital, and organizational change, and notes that we care about more than setting out the important questions and recommending answers: we stay involved through execution and through launching the business. It also mentions that we apply what we have learned in consulting to business succession and to the growth of the companies we invest in.
About Catalys
Catalys is a consulting firm built around staying with clients through delivery, with the mission of becoming a catalyst for change. We do not stop at devising strategy: we carry out M&A and business succession ourselves, take part in running the companies we invest in and the companies in our group, and hold responsibility for their growth, their organization and their value. Through M&A and business succession the group now numbers more than 50 people, and we are hiring harder than ever. Some of our people became directors of an investee company in their twenties. What sets this place apart is that you can go from consulting through M&A and PMI to running an investee company, all in one place.
About joining Catalys
We are happy to have an informal conversation before any formal process. Our process is normally several interviews plus a dinner with the leadership team, and an offer can come as soon as two weeks after the first introduction. If any of this interests you, please do get in touch.
