Michael Quinn has spent his career doing what Catalyst 360 Solutions now helps others do — running businesses, leading teams under pressure and navigating the gap between operational reality and strategic ambition.

Before founding Catalyst 360 Solutions, Michael served at Senior Management level across a number of organisations — where he led large-scale technical and commercial operations. His career spans senior leadership across manufacturing, technology, engineering and construction sectors. He has managed complex technical programmes, led commercial teams and held P&L responsibility across multiple business units.

That background is not incidental to the Catalyst 360 offering — it is the foundation of it. Michael understands what it feels like to carry Senior Management responsibility, to be under operational pressure while knowing the strategic questions are not getting the attention they need. That is precisely the challenge that Catalyst 360 Solutions was established to help resolve.

What makes the advisory distinctive

Very few advisors combine deep technical and commercial authority with formal qualifications in engineering, coaching and mediation — alongside direct experience of building and running businesses.

Technical authority grounded in a BE in Engineering and Chartered Engineer status

Strategic technology leadership from CTO-level roles across multiple sectors

Business & commercial leadership — MD level and business owner experience

Qualified Executive Coach — extensive experience working with senior leaders and leadership teams

Conflict resolution and mediation — Certified Mediator (MII)

Programme and project leadership — Masters in Project Management (UL)

How We Work

A different kind of engagement.

We work directly with leadership teams at Board and senior management level. Direct access to senior advisors from day one.

01
Conversation first, not proposal first

We start by understanding the business — where it is, where it wants to be and what it needs to become.

02
Only where we can create real value

We are selective about who we work with. If we don't believe we can make a genuine difference, we will say so.

03
Capability, not dependency

Our goal is an organisation that owns its strategy and can sustain it independently.

We meet you where you are.

There is no fixed starting point and no minimum commitment. An engagement might begin with a single advisory session, a focused assessment or a specific programme within one pillar. The pace and scope are always shaped by what makes sense for the organisation — not by what makes a more comprehensive proposal.

We start with a conversation, not a proposal.
