 Success will come to those who proactively
respond to change with expertise and knowledge.

The Catalyst track record of adding value in a hands-on manner to

some of the most leading organisations around the world through its
deep expertise in business and management speaks for itself.

Now, Catalyst is strongly positioned to add value to businesses and

government organisations in the MENA region. In particular, it will

developing the management talent pool and engaging with some of
the worlds leading corporations to create high value joint ventures

 Vision
To be recognised by the leaders of MENA as the CATALYST for high value business development
and investment in MENA based on our value-added approach that:

leverages the expertise of global industry leaders working in a collaborative manner with
governments and the private sector,

creates massive value for UAE & MENA countries in the region as well as our

tremendous growth, I can tell you there is no
substitute for experience and wisdom.

The depth of experience found in Catalyst is quite

remarkable. It is not surprising that so many
leading corporations are leveraging Catalyst's
talent pool to achieve success.

Its all about people, talented people who have been there, done that and achieved big things in life.

One of the hardest things for a rapidly growing company or a business that has
lagged behind is achieving access to talented people who have proven industry
experience. Many of these people who have achieved success will not be found in
consulting firms; they will not be looking for management jobs and these highly
driven, motivated people can only play so much golf they love building businesses,
big challenges and creating extraordinary value. These are the people who form our
team and make all the difference to our clients business.

a short period of time. We searched globally for partners to support
us in this challenge, and found only a few firms that had the depth of
experience and expertise required to make a quantum difference to
our efforts.
Catalyst was sought out based on its unique model of deploying
highly experienced operational managers and executives, a
tremendous track record of delivering value to some of the largest
corporations in the world and its ability to develop the capability of
our people. Over the last 18 months, together with Catalyst, we have
