We Are Catalant
We help companies go from strategy to execution — fast.
What We Do
Catalant builds software that helps companies execute work and align their people — both full-time employees and outside experts and teams — to strategy.
Remote work is forcing leaders to quickly enable a digital workplace and take a hard look at how their resources are balanced against their evolving strategies and execution plans. Our SaaS platform provides the visibility needed to digitally orchestrate work, drive alignment and engagement, balance and rebalance resources, and track work progress against key objectives.
Most leaders are also feeling increased pressure to drive results while controlling costs. With more than 70% of the costs of doing business being workforce costs, many are seeking alternatives to both traditional employment models and traditional consulting firms to get strategic work done quickly, efficiently, and flexibly. Our Expert Marketplace provides flexible access to nearly 70,000 elite independent experts and more than 1,000 firms.
More than 30% of the Fortune 100 uses the Catalant Platform and Expert Marketplace to power strategic plan execution, enterprise portfolio management, centers of excellence

We started as HourlyNerd, an online marketplace for elite independent consultants. Then our customers convinced us to think bigger. Some of the largest, most successful organizations in the world started using our software to not only find strategic contingent talent, but to execute their most important initiatives. So we invested in that vision.
Today, top global companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev, GE, Highmark Health, Pfizer, and Bain & Company use the Catalant Platform and Catalant Expert Marketplace to accelerate and deliver some of their most important work with our software and access world-class independent consultants and firms. We’ve grown by leaps and bounds every year we’ve been in business, and we’re just getting started.
