Catapuult Consulting
Plans that survive contact with the org chart.
Fractional leadership and go-to-market for technology startups. Category strategy and strategic sourcing for enterprise procurement. One standard for both: work you can run the week it lands.
We take on a limited number of new clients, mostly by referral only.
Email chris@catapuult.comOther firms leave a binder of findings and a handshake. We leave a plan that runs.
Every engagement produces work you can act on the week we deliver it. If a recommendation needs a footnote explaining why it is practical, it is not practical. We rewrite it.
Two practices
Two clients with nothing in common hire us for the same reason: work they can run.
You need an operator in the seat, not advice from the balcony.
Strategy, go-to-market, sales, marketing, and product for technology startups. We take the fractional seat and do the work, from pipeline reviews to the deck itself.

Category strategy, strategic sourcing, and spend management for large enterprises. Led hands-on by the person who built and ran SAP's procurement software business.
See the procurement practice →How engagements run
The work starts in week one, not after a discovery month.
No interview tour that ends in a readout. Every deliverable comes with owners, dates, and a way to measure whether it worked.
Week one of a procurement engagement produces a spend baseline and a first category shortlist. Week one of a startup engagement produces a pipeline audit, a deck teardown, or a first positioning draft.
Built, not advised
Advisors talk. We build.
Building our own products keeps the advice honest. We know what a roadmap costs because we pay for ours. CampusFlow for school front offices and corporate visitor management. Spend, supplier, and category tools for procurement. And HoopCount, live at hoopcount.com.
Who shows up
The name on the proposal is the name in the room.
Chris Salis, Founder
Chris was VP and General Manager of SAP's procurement software business, responsible for building the product and selling it. Before that: Business Objects, eBay, Gap Inc., and Adecco. Catapuult clients have included Nike, Block, Intuit, and many startups.
Chris leads every engagement and owns the deliverable. He does not do it alone.
