Catalant
Mat Ackerman • EVP of Strategy & Business Transformation
The business world has never been more dynamic than what we've seen over the last 2+ years. The ability to respond to key issues with expertise and agility is paramount to success.

Nick Bosch • Director of Global Product Development & Management
We can test things out without taking on additional headcount. It de-risks every potential opportunity. Catalant experts required significantly less oversight than traditional consultants, eliminating the need for excessive project management.

Suzanne Roeder • Chief Business Operations Officer
In a hyper-growth startup, sometimes you err on the side of speed and benefit of the doubt and cut corners, but Catalant helped us move fast without sacrificing quality.

Tecomet
Tecomet, the largest contract manufacturer in orthopedics with 2,500+ employees across 16 global facilities, faced rising operational costs from wage inflation post-COVID. EVP Mat Ackerman partnered with Catalant experts instead of traditional consulting firms to explore process automation, workforce retention strategies, and procurement optimization. He strategically selected experts with varied skill sets—analytical specialists for certain projects and subject matter experts for collaborative internal work.

Money Mart Financial Services
Money Mart, operating 700+ retail branches offering financial products, lacked internal expertise to assess acquisition risks. Traditional consulting firms proved time-consuming and ineffective. Through Catalant, they connected with elite independent consultants requiring minimal oversight, first for a Canadian acquisition evaluation, then expanding across market research and board presentations. The experts required significantly less project management than traditional consultants.

Healthcare Technology Company
A leading healthcare technology company's marketing team lacked bandwidth and expertise to develop buyer personas for a new nursing compliance product. Catalant connected them with Sebastian, an independent consultant with 18 years at GE, Microsoft, and Novartis. He surveyed the Nurse Advisory Board, synthesized company data, and researched nursing pain points to create detailed personas including demographics, psychographics, and digital lifestyle preferences.

Perch
Perch, a hypergrowth ecommerce startup that quadrupled in size and hired 80+ employees in one day, lacked an HR department and risked overpaying for acquisitions. Through Catalant, they found an HR leader within 4 hours who started 30 hours later, creating their first parental leave policy and securing legal authority in 10 states. An expert analyst discovered a manufacturer's inventory was valued at $3M not $5M, saving $2M on a project costing just $9,185.
