Introduction
The Catalyst Group specializes in mergers and acquisitions
for information technology and telecommunications businesses.
We have represented a broad range of clients, from large public companies
to smaller private enterprises, which are sometimes too small for serious attention
by traditional investment banking firms yet are big enough to require sophisticated, senior management expertise.
Operating on a global scale, The Catalyst Group enables clients to move quickly as they seek
to broaden into new markets or sharpen their focus on core opportunities through acquisition,
divestiture or corporate alliances
The company offers clients a high level of professionalism, based on a unique combination
of direct involvement by seasoned IT operating executives, technology expertise, extensive
international business contacts and transaction-closing experience.
The Catalyst Group can help companies - hardware, software, service, or
telecommunications - to map out a strategy and then smoothly and effectively
execute the transactions needed to carry out that strategy.
