Darren Ortega Dela, Founder & Principal Consultant

My Story

I've spent more than 23 years in commercial leadership. I've managed territories in healthcare, run sales operations in real estate, and led business development and national store launches in franchising.

Across every industry, I saw the same pattern: capable people and sound plans held back by weak systems for managing performance. Targets were set, but ownership, follow-up, and coaching weren't.

I founded Catalyst Consulting in 2022 to fix that part of the business. I help organizations build the systems, leadership, and accountability that turn strategy into results.
