To Whom it May Concern—

I’m Paul, and I look forward to meeting you. That’s likely also the only time you’ll hear to whom it may concern from me. ‘Howdy’ and ‘G’day’ are more my style.

Six Catalysts was born from a simple belief : transformation doesn’t happen by chance—it happens when the right elements come together at the right time, with the right influences.

In most things, impactful changes are driven by powerful catalysts. The realization that these catalysts can be thoughtfully designed and introduced by choice was personally meaningful—and drove me to share my expertise with you as an agent for positive change.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams and driving growth across marketing, operations, supply chain, and product development in a growing, global business. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that aligning people, purpose, and process is the key to unlocking potential—and that’s the foundation of our philosophy for helping you succeed.

I’m here to help you navigate challenges, create opportunities, and help spark something extraordinary along the way.

Let’s build something great together.
