About Us

A community for leaders called to the marketplace.

Catalyst Business was founded on a simple belief: faith, third culture, and work belong together. We exist to give Christian, third culture leaders the opportunity to pursue excellence and flourishing.

Our Story

Our journey began in early 2025 through honest conversations with local friends in Duluth, GA. We quickly realized there was a missing space — an inclusive space where faith, business, and Third Culture leadership could truly converge. This need was deeply personal, as it mirrors our own stories and identities. Following a season of prayer and conversation, we are stepping out in faith to catalyze a movement to bring life to ourselves and others.

Our Values

  • — Integrity in every transaction
  • — Excellence as worship
  • — Generosity as a way of life
  • — Community over isolation
