Catalyst Group is a minority-owned consulting firm delivering IT and management solutions to government agencies, prime contractors, and enterprise clients nationwide — led by a principal with 15+ years of proven experience.
Built on Experience, Run by a Principal Who Shows Up
For more than 15 years, Catalyst Group's founder has worked at the intersection of technology, sales, and operations — helping organizations design smarter systems, modernize their IT, and make decisions that move the business forward. That experience spans IT consulting and sales leadership, running an operations-heavy logistics business, and real estate investment, giving Catalyst a rare combination of technical depth and real-world business judgment.
Catalyst Group was founded on a simple idea: clients deserve a senior, experienced advisor who is personally invested in the outcome — not a junior team handed off after the pitch. When you work with Catalyst, you work directly with the person accountable for your results.
Shaped by the Industry's Best
Before founding Catalyst Group, Jonathan Rivers spent 15+ years in senior roles at AWS, Salesforce, SAP, VMware, and AT&T — managing $70M+ enterprise portfolios, closing deals at 105–140% of quota, and advising C-suite leaders at Fortune 500 companies including Delta, The Home Depot, and Chick-fil-A. That experience is what every Catalyst client gets access to.
