Welcome to Catalyst!

I’m pleased to announce the launch of Catalyst Development Advisory Limited.

Catalyst was founded to support organizations as they plan, lead, and deliver complex development projects—bringing clarity, structure, and confidence to every stage of the process.

After years of working with owners, consultants, contractors, and stakeholders across a range of projects, one thing became clear: successful developments are built on strong leadership, disciplined processes, and trusted relationships. Catalyst was created to provide exactly that.

Why Catalyst

Development projects are inherently complex. Competing priorities, evolving scopes, financial pressures, and coordination challenges can quickly derail even the best intentions.

Catalyst exists to build better communities by acting as the stabilizing force within that complexity—helping owners make informed decisions, manage risk, and keep projects aligned with their original vision. We serve as a trusted advisor and extension of the owner’s team, focused on outcomes, accountability, and long-term value.

What We Do

Catalyst Development Advisory Limited provides owner-focused advisory and project leadership services tailored to each client and project. Our work is grounded in practical experience and a clear understanding of how projects actually unfold.

Our services include:

• Development advisory and strategic planning
• Grant submission development and oversight
• Owner’s representation and project leadership
• Budget, schedule, and risk oversight
• Consultant and contractor coordination
• Governance, reporting, and decision-support

Whether supporting early feasibility and planning or guiding projects through execution, Catalyst brings structure and momentum where it matters most.

How We Work

At the heart of Catalyst is a belief that strong relationships and clear communication are the foundation of successful projects.

We approach every engagement collaboratively, with transparency, professionalism, and a commitment to acting in the best interests of the owner. Our role is not to add complexity—but to simplify decisions, anticipate challenges, and keep projects moving forward with confidence.

Looking Ahead

The launch of Catalyst Development Advisory Limited marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I’m grateful for the clients, colleagues, and mentors who have contributed to this journey and whose trust made this step possible.

If you’re planning a new development, navigating a complex project, or looking for experienced, independent leadership to support your team, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Thank you for being part of the start of Catalyst.
