Founder
Marko Katalan
Founder & Senior Partner
A multidisciplinary perspective on business, capital and leadership.
Marko Katalan founded Katalan Group as an independent advisory practice for entrepreneurs, executives and family businesses facing consequential decisions.
His approach brings together perspectives from strategy, finance, law, transactions, entrepreneurship and international business. Rather than viewing a challenge through a single discipline, he looks at the business, its ownership, its people and its long-term direction as interconnected.
With an international background spanning the United States, Europe and Asia, Marko works directly with clients on growth, transformation, transactions, leadership and cross-border business.
The most important business decisions rarely belong to a single discipline.
The Approach
Independent perspective. Direct counsel.
Complex decisions benefit from more than one point of view.
Katalan Group is intentionally founder-led. The objective is not to produce advice for its own sake, but to understand the problem, challenge assumptions, create clarity and help translate decisions into action.
Sometimes that means developing a corporate strategy. Sometimes it means evaluating a transaction, restructuring an organization or entering a new market. And sometimes it means having an independent person across the table who understands both the business and the individual responsible for leading it.
